FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to: (a) processes for the preparation of(3S,4R)-3-ethyl-4-(3H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrazin-8-yl)-N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxamide(referred to herein as “Compound 1”), (b) intermediates used in thepreparation of Compound 1 and processes for preparing the intermediates;(c) solid state forms of Compound 1, (d) pharmaceutical compositionscomprising one or more solid state forms of Compound 1, and, optionally,one or more additional therapeutic agents; (e) methods of treating Januskinase-associated conditions (including rheumatoid arthritis) byadministering one or more solid state forms of Compound 1 to a subjectin need thereof, (f) kits comprising a first pharmaceutical compositioncomprising a solid state form of Compound 1, and, optionally, a secondpharmaceutical composition comprising one or more additional therapeuticagents; (g) methods for the preparation of solid state forms of Compound1; and (h) solid state forms of Compound 1 prepared in accordance withsuch methods.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(3S,4R)-3-ethyl-4-(3H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrazin-8-yl)-N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxamide(“Compound 1”) was first disclosed in International ApplicationWO2011/068881A1, which is herein incorporated by reference in itsentirety. The compound has activity as a Janus kinase (“JAK”) inhibitor,particularly as a JAK-1 inhibitor. Clinical trials are ongoing toevaluate the use of the compound to treat rheumatoid arthritis.

The isolation and commercial-scale preparation of a solid state form ofCompound 1 and corresponding pharmaceutical formulations havingacceptable solid state properties (including chemical stability, thermalstability, solubility, hygroscopicity, and/or particle size), compoundmanufacturability (including yield, impurity rejection duringcrystallization, filtration properties, drying properties, and millingproperties), and formulation feasibility (including stability withrespect to pressure or compression forces during tableting) present anumber of challenges that are discussed in greater detail below.Accordingly, there is a current need for one or more solid state formsof Compound 1 that have an acceptable balance of these properties andcan be used in the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable soliddosage forms.

Additionally, currently known processes for the preparation of Compound1 involve the use of particularly hazardous reagents, such astrimethylsilyldiazomethane or diazomethane, and do not produce acrystalline product. There is thus also a need for a process forpreparing Compound 1, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof,that avoids the use of particularly hazardous reagents, and can producea crystalline product and crystalline intermediates.

Additionally, sustained peak plasma concentrations can theoretically beachieved by means of sustained release matrix systems. However, whensuch systems are made of hydrophilic polymers, such as HPMC, they seldomprovide pH independent drug release of pH-dependent soluble drugs, andthey are normally incapable of attaining zero-order release except forpractically insoluble drugs. Unexpectedly, is has been discovered thatwhen tartaric acid is used as a pH-modifier in such a system, it allowsCompound 1 to be released at a steady rate regardless of the pH of theenvironment.

In an unexpected finding, it was discovered that as a tablet containingthe hydrophilic polymer matrix system erodes, Compound 1 reacts with theHPMC, creating a thicker gel layer which slows the release of Compound 1from the tablet. The resulting gel layer provided an environmentsuitable for Compound 1 to dissolve.

The processes of the presentdisclosure overcome these drawbacks by avoiding the use of thesehazardous reagents, and producing crystalline intermediates, which aidin purification.

Compounds of the present disclosure may be prepared using synthetictransformations such as those illustrated in Schemes I-XVI. Startingmaterials are commercially available, may be prepared by the proceduresdescribed herein, by literature procedures, or by procedures that wouldbe well known to one skilled in the art of organic chemistry (see, forexample, Larock, R. C. “Comprehensive Organic Transformations: A Guideto Functional Group Preparations, 2^(nd) edition”, 1999, Wiley-VCH orGreene, T. W. and Wuts, P. G. M. “Protective Groups in OrganicSynthesis, 3^(rd) Edition”, 1999, Wiley-Interscience).

A. Preparation of Compound 1

In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a process forpreparing Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Aprocess for preparing Compound 1 is illustrated in Scheme I. Reaction ofprotected (3R,4S)-4-ethylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid (I) or apharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with trimethylsulfoxoniumchloride gives sulfur ylide (II). Contacting sulfur ylide (II) with LiXand a sulfonic acid yields the corresponding halomethyl ketone (III).Reaction of (III) with (IV) in the presence of a base yields (V).Cyclization of (V) in the presence of a perfluoro acid anhydride and anorganic base produces (VI). Removal of the protecting group andcontacting the deprotected compound with an acid yields apharmaceutically acceptable salt of (VII). Reacting the pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt of (VII) with 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine producesCompound 1.

-   -   wherein:        -   PG is a protecting group;        -   X is Br or Cl;        -   R₁ is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, and            —OR₂;        -   R₂ is alkyl; and        -   Ts is tosyl.

The protecting group may be any suitable protecting group known in theart. In some embodiments, the protecting group is selected from thegroup consisting of carboxybenzyl, p-methoxybenzyl carbonyl, benzyl,p-methoxybenzyl, and 3,4-dimethoxyenzyl.

In another embodiment, R₁ is —OR₂, and R₂ is methyl or ethyl. In suchembodiments, the compound of formula (IV) is a compound of formula(IVa):

wherein R₂ is methyl or ethyl. It has surprisingly been discovered thatwhen R₂ is ethyl or methyl, the compound of formula (V) and subsequentdownstream compounds can be isolated as crystalline solids, which aidsin purification of these intermediates. In contrast, previously knownprocesses, which use compounds where R₂ is t-butyl, result in formationof compounds of formula (V) which are isolated as amorphous solids.

In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compoundof the compound of formula (I) is used in the reaction of step (a).

Contacting sulfur ylide (IIa) with lithium bromide and a sulfonicacid yields the corresponding bromomethyl ketone (IIIa). Reaction of(IIIa) with alkyl 5-tosyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-ylcarbamate (IVa)in the presence of lithium tert-butoxide yields (Va). Cyclization of(Va) in the presence of a perfluoro acid anhydride and an organic baseproduces (VIa). Removal of the carboxybenzyl protecting group andcontacting the deprotected compound with hydrochloric acid yields thepharmaceutically acceptable salt (VIIa). Reacting the pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt (VIIa) with 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine produces Compound1.

In one embodiment, following addition of the solutionof the compound of formula (IV) or (IVa) in a solvent, the resultingmixture is stirred for about 30 minutes at a temperature of about −10°C. In one embodiment, the reaction is quenched, and, in someembodiments, the resulting product (V) or (Va) is isolated prior to step(d).

In step (d) of Schemes I and Ia, a compound of formula (V) or (Va) iscontacted with a perfluoro acid anhydride and an organic base to form acompound of formula (VI) or (VIa), respectively.

Suitable solvents for use in step (d)include, but are not limited to acetonitrile, toluene, and combinationsthereof.

More particularly, in certain embodiments, the organic base and theperfluoro acid anhydride are charged into a solution of a compound offormula (V) or (Va) in solvent. The resulting mixture is warmed to about55° C. to about 75° C., or about 55° C., and stirred for about 4 hoursto about 18 hours, or about 6 hours. In one embodiment, the mixture ofperfluoro acid anhydride and the compound of formula (V) or (Va) iswarmed to about 55° C. and stirred for about 4 hours to about 18 hours.In one embodiment, the mixture is stirred for about 6 hours. Uponcompletion of the reaction, in some embodiments, the reaction mixturemay be cooled, and concentrated prior to contacting with a hydroxidesolution to quench excess reagents, and remove the tosyl protectinggroup. Suitable hydroxide solutions include a sodium hydroxide (NaOH)solution, a potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution, and the like. Theresulting mixture may be stirred at room temperature to about 85° C.,including at about 55° C., for about 30 minutes to about 8 hours. In oneembodiment, the mixture is stirred for about 1 hour.

In step (e) of Schemes I and Ia, a compound of formula (VI) or (VIa) isdeprotected, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of compound (VII),such as (VIIa), (VIIb), or (VIIc) is formed. The protecting group on thecompound of formula (VI) or (VIa) may be removed using any suitablemeans known in the art. In one embodiment, deprotection occurs bycontacting the compound of formula (VI) or (VIa) with palladium oncarbon (e.g., Pd/C or Pd(OH₂)/C) under hydrogen pressure. In otherembodiments, deprotection occurs by contacting the compound of formula(VI) or (VIa) with an acid. Non-limiting examples of suitable acidsinclude hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydrobromic acid (HBr), hydrobromicacid in acetic acid (e.g., HBr/HOAc), and the like. In otherembodiments, deprotection occurs by subjecting the compound of formula(VI) or (VIa) to heating, e.g., at a temperature of from roomtemperature to about 85° C., including about 50° C. Upon deprotection,the compound of formula (VII) is contacted with the appropriate acid(e.g., hydrochloric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid) to form thepharmaceutically acceptable salt.

In step (g) compound (VII) is reacted with 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine toproduce Compound 1. The step (g) reaction is conducted in the presenceof a coupling agent, such as CDI. Step (g) in Scheme II is conductedusing similar reagents and under similar conditions as those set forthabove for step (f) of Scheme I.

In step (h) of Scheme II, Compound 1 is contacted with L-tartaric acidto form the corresponding tartrate salt (step (h)). Formation of thetartrate salt advantageously aids in removal of impurities prior toisolation of the freebase. In one embodiment, the tartrate salt may beformed using the procedure described in Example 8, Method B, onlywithout drying the tartrate salt prior to step (i). The tartrate salt issubsequently converted back to the freebase form (step (i)) to produceCompound 1.

Contactingsulfur yield (IIa) with an anhydrous source of HBr yields thecorresponding bromomethyl ketone (IIIa). Reaction of (IIIa) with alkyl5-tosyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2-ylcarbamate (IVa) in the presence oflithium tert-butoxide yields (Va). Cyclization of (Va) in the presenceof a perfluoro acid anhydride and an organic base produces (VIa).Removal of the carboxybenzyl protecting group and contacting thedeprotected compound with hydrochloric acid yields the pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt (VIIa).

III. SOLID STATE FORMS

The present disclosure also relates to solid state forms of Compound 1.As with all pharmaceutical compounds and compositions, the chemical andphysical properties of Compound 1 are important in its commercialdevelopment. These properties include, but are not limited to: (1)packing properties such as molar volume, bulk density andhygroscopicity, (2) thermodynamic properties such as meltingtemperature, vapor pressure and solubility, (3) kinetic properties suchas dissolution rate and stability (including stability at ambientconditions, especially to moisture and under storage conditions), (4)surface properties such as surface area, wettability, interfacialtension and shape, (5) mechanical properties such as hardness, tensilestrength, compactability, handling, flow and blend; and (6) filtrationproperties. These properties can affect, for example, the processing andstorage of the compound and pharmaceutical compositions comprising thecompound.

Solid state forms of Compound 1 that improve upon one or more of theseproperties relative to other solid state forms of the compound aredesirable. Isolating pharmaceutically acceptable solid state forms ofthe compound that can be manufactured and formulated on acommercial-scale has been a challenge.

The Amorphous Freebase form of Compound 1 generally has greatersolubility, and increased bioavailability relative to most of thecorresponding crystalline forms of the compound. The Amorphous Freebasealso has acceptable chemical stability. However, it is hygroscopic, andenvironmental controls potentially are required to ensure appropriatecontrol of potency and water content during storage, dispensing, andhandling of the Amorphous Freebase. In addition, the Amorphous Freebaseexhibits an oiling-out limit close to the solubility curve duringmanufacturing.

Crystalline Hydrochloride Solvate Form AA, crystalline HydrochlorideSolvate Form BB, and crystalline Hydrochloride Solvate Form CC generallyconvert to an amorphous hydrochloride upon ambient drying. The resultingamorphous hydrochloride is hygroscopic. Yields obtained for each of thecrystalline hydrochlorides generally have been low. HydrochlorideSolvate Form AA, Hydrochloride Solvate Form BB, and HydrochlorideSolvate form CC may not be suitable for large scale manufacturing.

The crystalline L-Maleate forms generally may be less chemically stablethan the Amorphous Freebase, the Freebase Hydrate Form C, and theTartrate Hydrate, and may not exhibit pharmaceutically acceptablestability for use as an active ingredient in a pharmaceutical dosageform.

The Tartrate Hydrate form has acceptable chemical stability, highsolubility, generally good impurity rejection during isolation and isnot hygroscopic. However, the Tartrate Hydrate presented challengesbecause of lack of physical stability which also impacted manufacturing.The Tartrate Hydrate dehydrated into Amorphous at low relative humidityand high temperature, e.g., <10% RH at 25° C. Shearing and compressionpotentially cause conversion to the amorphous tartrate, and therefore itis not suitable for compressing into tablet form. Additionally, thefilter cake solidified during drying, resulting in the need foradditional controls during drying.

Freebase Hydrate Form B has been manufactured on a large scale withoutthe need for labor-intensive and expensive techniques such asspray-drying. It also provided for appropriate control of the bulkproperties of the Amorphous Freebase. However, the Amorphous Freebaseexhibited poor impurity rejection when isolated via Freebase HydrateForm B, and required a dry environment for storage and control ofrelative humidity during manufacturing and packaging.

The Freebase Hydrate Form B was not physically stable. It desolvated (ordehydrated) and converted to the Amorphous Freebase upon drying.Although the Freebase Hydrate Form B generally did not exhibitpharmaceutically acceptable physical stability for use as an activeingredient in a pharmaceutical dosage form, it may be a usefulintermediate in the preparation of other solid state forms such as theAmorphous Freebase.

After years of experimentation, Freebase Hydrate Form C wasserendipitously discovered when attempting to scale up the AmorphousFreebase. It offers many surprising and superior properties over theAmorphous Freebase, the Tartrate Hydrate and other forms of Compound 1.

Freebase Hydrate Form C generally exhibits excellent chemical stability,physical stability, and solid state properties, including lowhygroscopicity and prismatic morphology. Freebase Hydrate Form C hasimproved bulk properties such as powder flow, bulk density, which arebeneficial in the formulation process. In addition, Freebase HydrateForm C offers at least the following unexpected advantages over theother forms: 1) efficient purification is obtained since there is noneed to use the tartrate crystal; 2) the seeding step is straightforwardsince Freebase Hydrate Form C can be stored at normal conditions; 3) thedrying step can be carried out at normal conditions with standardequipment since no dehydration occurs up to around 110° C.; 4) FreebaseHydrate Form C can be crystallized in different particle sizes.Large-scale manufacture of the Freebase Hydrate Form C is relativelystraightforward with minimal scaling, good yield, good impurityrejection, fast filtration, conventional drying, and minimal millingissues. In addition, Freebase Hydrate Form C can be grown into differentparticle sizes.

Freebase Anhydrate Form D can be manufactured only when the watercontent of the crystallization solvent is low, and will convert toFreebase Hydrate Form C in solutions at high water content. Themanufacture of Freebase Anhydrate Form D thus requires strict control ofwater content. Freebase Anhydrate Form D is slow to crystallize, anddifficult to manufacture in higher yield. This anhydrate is reversiblyhygroscopic (up to 1.8% water at 90% RH at 25° C.), and is metastablerelative to Freebase Hydrate Form C at typical environmental conditions(e.g., above 2.4% RH at 23° C.) used during storage for downstreamprocessing. Freebase Hydrate Form C will convert to Freebase AnhydrateForm D in a solution of ethyl acetate with low water content.

The sections below discuss solid state forms that have been identifiedand selected properties of those solid state forms.

A. Amorphous Freebase

In one embodiment, the solid state form is amorphous Compound 1 (the“Amorphous Freebase”). In one aspect, the Amorphous Freebase comprisesless than about 13% by weight water. In another aspect, the AmorphousFreebase comprises less than about 12% by weight water. In anotheraspect, the Amorphous Freebase comprises less than about 10% by weightwater. In another aspect, the Amorphous Freebase comprises less thanabout 9% by weight water. In another aspect, the Amorphous Freebasecomprises less than about 8% by weight water. In another aspect, theAmorphous Freebase comprises less than about 7% by weight water. Inanother aspect, the Amorphous Freebase comprises less than about 6% byweight water. In another aspect, the Amorphous Freebase comprises lessthan about 5% by weight water. In another aspect, the Amorphous Freebasecomprises less than about 4% by weight water. In another aspect, theAmorphous Freebase comprises less than about 3% by weight water. Inanother aspect, the Amorphous Freebase comprises less than about 2% byweight water. In another aspect, the Amorphous Freebase comprises lessthan about 1% by weight water. In another aspect, the Amorphous Freebasehas a glass transition temperature onset at about 119° C. In anotheraspect, the Amorphous Freebase has a glass transition temperaturemidpoint at about 122° C. In another aspect, the Amorphous Freebase hasa glass transition temperature onset at about 119° C. and a glasstransition temperature midpoint at about 122° C. The Amorphous Freebaseis further described in the Examples of the application.

The Amorphous Freebase generally has greater solubility, and increasedbioavailability, relative to the corresponding crystalline forms of thecompound. The Amorphous Freebase also has acceptable chemical stability.For example, when chemical stability was evaluated in closed vials at30° C./65% relative humidity and 40° C./75% relative humidity over 12weeks, and at 50° C./75% relative humidity over 6 weeks, no degradationof the Amorphous Freebase was observed in the closed vials under any ofthose conditions. In addition, the Amorphous Freebase exhibitsacceptable stability to light and peroxide. The Amorphous Freebase,however, is hygroscopic and can comprise as much as 12% by weight waterat 25° C./90% relative humidity. Environmental controls potentially arerequired to ensure appropriate control of potency and water contentduring storage, dispensing, and handling of the Amorphous Freebase.

The Amorphous Freebase can be prepared, for example, using anti-solventcrystallization to prepare the Freebase Solvate Form A or FreebaseHydrate Form B (described below) followed by dehydration or desolvationto yield the Amorphous Freebase. Thiscrystallization/dehydration/desolvation method allows for thelarge-scale manufacture of the Amorphous Freebase without the need forlabor-intensive and expensive techniques such as spray-drying. It alsoprovides for appropriate control of the bulk properties of the AmorphousFreebase (i.e., particle size, flow properties etc.). When the AmorphousFreebase is prepared by desolvation of the Freebase Solvate Form A ordehydration of the Freebase Hydrate Form B, the Amorphous Freebasegenerally retains the morphology of the Freebase Solvate Form A orFreebase Hydrate Form B (i.e., blades with hexagonal crystal faces whenprepared by dehydration of Freebase Hydrate Form B, or irregular whendesolvated from Freebase Solvate Form A).

The process volumes required for crystallization during the large-scalemanufacture of the Freebase Solvate Form A or Freebase Hydrate Form Bgenerally are within conventional processing volumes, but impurityrejection potentially may be lower than desired. Drying anddehydration/desolvation of the Freebase Hydrate Form B/Freebase SolvateForm A to the Amorphous Freebase generally can be carried out withstandard equipment under conventional conditions and the isolatedAmorphous Freebase typically can be co-milled without adverselyimpacting the amorphous state.

In one embodiment, the Tartrate Hydrate has an X-ray diffraction patternas previously described above; a thermogravimetric analysis profileshowing a weight loss of about 11.8% to about 12.2% between about 25° C.and 160° C. when heated at a rate of 10° C./minute; a differentialscanning calorimetry profile comprising an endotherm between about 60°C. and about 100° C. when heated at a rate of 10° C./minute; and amoisture sorption isotherm profile showing a weight gain of about 1% toabout 2% when relative humidity is increased from about 10% relativehumidity to about 90% relative humidity at a temperature of 25° C.

The Tartrate Hydrate has acceptable chemical stability and exhibitsacceptable stability to light and peroxide. For example, when chemicalstability was evaluated in closed vials at 30° C./65% relative humidityand 40° C./75% relative humidity over 12 weeks, and at 50° C./75%relative humidity over 6 weeks, no degradation of the Tartrate Hydratewas observed in the closed vials under any of the conditions. TheTartrate Hydrate has good solubility (BCS Class I) and is nothygroscopic. The Tartrate Hydrate, however, potentially will convert toan amorphous tartrate below 10% relative humidity, when heated, or whencompressed or under shear.

The Tartrate Hydrate can be manufactured, for example, usinganti-solvent crystallization. Impurity rejection during the large-scalemanufacture of the Tartrate Hydrate generally is good, but scaling maybe greater than desired and specific anti-solvent addition controls andprocess volume restrictions potentially may be required. In addition,appropriate control of the filtration, washing, and drying steps may berequired to minimize consolidation of the wet cake and formation of hardlumps in the isolated material. For example, control of the relativehumidity (e.g., greater than 10% and less than 100% relative humidity),temperature (e.g., crystallization at about 10° C. works well), andmixing rate may be required during drying to minimize the formation ofhard lumps in the isolated material. Insufficient control of the dryingconditions potentially will produce a consolidated, harder material thatmay be difficult to break up during subsequent processing. As previouslynoted, shearing and compression potentially will cause conversion to theamorphous tartrate. The dried material typically is milled withmechanical impact mills (e.g., Fitzmills and pin mills) becauseshear-based mills (e.g., comills) can lead to loss of crystallinity. Inaddition, loss of crystallinity potentially can result from pressure orcompression forces during formulation (such as would be required fortableting).

Hydrochloride Solvate Form AA, Hydrochloride Solvate Form BB, andHydrochloride Solvate Form CC appear to be solvates and generallyconvert to an amorphous hydrochloride upon ambient drying. The resultingamorphous hydrochloride is hygroscopic. Yields obtained for each of thecrystalline hydrochlorides generally have been in the 10% to 15% range.

In another embodiment, the solid state form is a crystalline L-maleateof Compound 1. In one aspect, the crystalline L-maleate corresponds tocrystalline L-Maleate Form AAA. In another aspect, the crystallineL-maleate corresponds to crystalline L-Maleate Form BBB. L-Maleate FormAAA and L-Maleate Form BBB are further described in the Examples of theapplication.

Because L-maleic acid will react with Compound 1, the L-Maleate Form AAAand L-Maleate Form BBB generally are less chemically stable than theAmorphous Freebase, the Freebase Hydrate Form C, and the TartrateHydrate and do not exhibit pharmaceutically acceptable stability for useas an active ingredient in a pharmaceutical dosage form.

Compound 1 freebase or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof orsolid state forms thereof may be used alone, or in combination withmethotrexate or other non-biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumaticdrugs (DMARDs), and/or in combination with anti-TNFα biological agents,such as TNF antagonists like chimeric, humanized or human TNFantibodies, adalimumab (such as HUMIRA™ brand adalimumab), infliximabsuch as CA2 (REMICADE™ brand infliximab), golimumab such as SIMPONI™(golimumab), certolizumab pegol such as CIMZIA™, tocilizumab such asACTEMRA™, CDP 571, and soluble p55 or p75 TNF receptors, derivatives,thereof, etanercept such as p75TNFR1gG (ENBREL™ brand etanercept) orp55TNFR1gG (lenercept).

Patients having active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be diagnosedaccording to 1987-revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR)classification criteria or the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria. In certainembodiments, RA may be diagnosed based on patients having at least 6swollen and 6 tender joints. In certain embodiments, patients treatablewith Compound 1 or solid state forms thereof may include those who havefailed therapy with at least one (e.g., at least one but no more thanfour) DMARDs and/or have inadequate response to methotrexate,adalimumab, infliximab, etanercept, or other anti-TNFα biologicalagents, or non-anti-TNF biologics.

In certain embodiments, Compound 1 freebase or a pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt thereof or solid state forms thereof halt diseaseprogression, and/or relieves at least a symptom of the disease, whichmay be detected or monitored by X-ray results, including radiographicprogression of joint damage.

In certain embodiments, therapeutic efficacy can be measured byimprovements in ACR20, ACR50, and/or ACR70, either in individualpatients or a population of patients in need of treatment. In certainembodiments, statistically significant improvement (as compared placeboor untreated control) over a treatment period (e.g., 1 week, 2 weeks, 4weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year,2 years, 5 years, 10 years or more) in one or more of the ACR criteriais achieved. Statistical significance is manifested by a p value of lessthan 0.05, or less than 0.01.

Components of the ACR responses are well known in the art, and mayinclude the median number of tender joints, the median number of swollenjoints, physician global assessment such as one measured by visualanalog scale (VAS), patient global assessment such as one measured byvisual analog scale, pain such as one measured by visual analog scale,disability index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ-DI score),and C-reactive protein (CRP) (mg/dL).

In certain embodiments, an ACR20 response is determined based on a 20%or greater improvement in tender joint count (TJC) and swollen jointcount (SJC) and greater than or equal to 3 of the 5 measures ofPatient's Assessment of Pain (VAS), Patient's Global Assessment ofDisease Activity (VAS), Physician's Global Assessment of DiseaseActivity (VAS), HAQ-DI, or high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).In some embodiments, an ACR50 response is determined based on a 50% orgreater improvement in TJC and SJC and greater than or equal to 3 of the5 measures of Patient's Assessment of Pain (VAS), Patient's GlobalAssessment of Disease Activity (VAS), Physician's Global Assessment ofDisease Activity (VAS), HAQ-DI, or hsCRP. An ACR70 response isdetermined based on a 70% or greater improvement in TJC and SJC andgreater than or equal to 3 of the 5 measures of Patient's Assessment ofPain (VAS), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (VAS),Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (VAS), HAQ-DI, orhsCRP. In certain embodiments, the ACR20, ACR50, or ACR70 responseoccurs by week 12 of treatment.

In certain embodiments, a DAS28 (disease activity score based on the 28joints examined) score is determined as a composite score derived fromfour of the following measures: examination of joints for swelling andtenderness, global scores of pain and overall status, blood markers ofinflammation (e.g. ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and CRP (Creactive protein), referred to herein as DAS28(CRP)), questionnaires(e.g. the HAQ (health assessment questionnaire) which assess function)and X-rays and other imaging techniques such as ultrasound and MRI.

In certain embodiments, structural joint damage can be assessedradiographically and expressed as change in Total Sharp Score (TSS) andits components, the erosion score and Joint Space Narrowing (JSN) score,for example, at week 12 compared to baseline, or at week 24 as comparedto baseline.

In certain embodiments, improvement in signs and symptoms of the diseasecan be measured by patient physical function response, such asdisability index of Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ-DI), and/or thehealth-outcomes as assessed by The Short Form Health Survey (SF 36). Inone embodiment, improvement in signs and symptoms of the disease ismeasured by HAQ-DI, including the minimal clinically importantdifference (MCID) of −0.22. Improvement can also be measured by one orboth of Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental ComponentSummary (MCS). Improvements can further be measured by Work InstabilityScale for RA (RA-WIS) (see Gilworth et al., Arthritis & Rheumatism(Arthritis Care & Research) 49(3): 349-354, 2003, incorporated byreference).

The solid state form may also be combined with an immune modulator forCD4+CD25+ T_(reg) cells. T_(reg) cells are essential for maintainingnormal immune homeostasis. In patients with autoimmune diseases, reducednumbers or functional impairment of T_(reg) cells has been observed,leading to loss of this finely-tuned mechanism. A humanized agonisticmonoclonal antibody, BT-061, binds to a unique epitope of human CD4, andinduces T_(reg)-specific signaling events that lead to their functionalactivation. Pre-clinical data using isolated T_(reg) cells andrheumatoid arthritis synovial fluid indicate that BT-061 leads tosuppression of CD4+ and CD8+ T effector cell proliferation, reduction ofthe expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increase in theproduction of the anti-inflammatory cytokine TGFβ. Thus similar immunemodulators for CD4+CD25+ T_(reg) cells can also be co-administered witha compound of the invention for treating any of the inflammatorydisease/disorder, or an autoimmune disease/disorder described herein,including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease,ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, ulcerativecolitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis, diabeticnephropathy, dry eye syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, alopecia areata,vitiligo, or atopic dermatitis. In certain embodiments, the combinationtreats rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, or psoriaticarthritis, including moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis,Crohn's disease, psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis. In certainembodiments, the rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, orpsoriatic arthritis patient being treated has inadequately responded toor has discontinued therapy due to loss of response to or intolerance toa first line therapy (such as a DMARD, including methotrexate) or ananti-TNFα therapy.

In certain embodiments, the immune modulator has one or more (or all) ofthe following properties: (1) activates a subset of CD4+ T cellscomprising CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (T_(reg)), or CD4+CD25+ T_(reg)cells; (2) binds only to a special epitope of the human CD4 antigen(such as the IgG-like C₂ type 1 domain of CD4), which said epitope ofhuman CD4 may be bound by a mouse IgG1 anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody B-F5or a humanized version thereof, such as the BT-061 hB-F5 antibodytregalizumab as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,452,981 (incorporatedherein by reference, including all sequences of the VH and VL chainsdisclosed therein); (3) provides an activation signal to naturallyoccurring T_(reg) cells but does not activate conventional T cells(e.g., CD4+ T cells that are not activated in (1), CD8+ cytotoxic Tcells, etc.); and (4) is not a depleting anti-CD4 antibody that depletesCD4+ T cells, and/or does not appreciably trigger ADCC or CDC.

It should be understood that inembodiments, where the dosage unit composition comprises, e.g., asolvate, hydrate, hemihydrate, tartrate, hydrochloride, or L-maleate ofCompound 1, the amount of solvate, hydrate, hemihydrate, tartrate,hydrochloride, or L-maleate of Compound 1 present in the dosage unitcomposition may be slightly higher than the target amount of Compound 1(active ingredient), and preferably will be present in the dosage unitcomposition in an amount sufficient to deliver the target amount ofCompound 1 freebase equivalent to a subject. For example, if the targetamount of Compound 1 (active ingredient) in a dosage unit composition is15 mg, a dosage unit composition comprising, for example, FreebaseHydrate Form C, may comprise the Freebase Hydrate Form C in an amountsufficient to deliver 15 mg of the Compound 1 freebase equivalent.

In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is a tablet dosageform. In one aspect, the tablet is coated with a pharmaceuticallyacceptable polymer.

In one embodiment, tablet is a controlled-release formulation, such asan extended release tablet dosage form (also referred to herein as amodified release or sustained release formulation). Such formulationspermit the sustained release of the active ingredient over an extendedperiod of time, as compared to immediate release solid dosage forms,which permit the release of most or all of the active ingredient over ashort period of time (e.g., typically around 60 minutes or less). In oneaspect, the tablet comprises an active ingredient and at least oneadditive selected from the group consisting of a release controlpolymer, a filler, a glidant, a lubricant (e.g., for use in compactingthe granules), a pH modifier, a surfactant, and combinations thereof. Inone aspect, the tablet comprises an active ingredient, a release controlpolymer, a filler, a glidant, and a lubricant. In one aspect, the tabletcomprises an active ingredient, a release control polymer, a filler, aglidant, a lubricant, and a pH modifier.

In certain embodiments, the release control polymer will be ahydrophilic polymer. Examples of suitable release control polymersinclude, but are not limited to a cellulose derivative with a viscosityof between 1000 and 150,000 mPA-s, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (e.g.,Hypromellose 2208 or controlled release grades of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, including the E, F, and K series), copolymers of acrylic acidcrosslinked with a polyalkenyl polyether (e.g., Carbopol® polymers),hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, non-ionic homopolymersof ethylene oxide (e.g., Polyox™), water soluble natural gums ofpolysaccharides (e.g., xanthan gum, alginate, locust bean gum, etc.),crosslinked starch, polyvinyl acetates, polyvinylpyrrolidone, mixturesof polyvinyl acetates and polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and combinationsthereof. In one embodiment, the release control polymer is selected fromthe group consisting of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, copolymers ofacrylic acid crosslinked with a polyalkenyl polyether (e.g., Carbopol®polymers), and combinations thereof. Examples of suitable fillers(“bulking agents”) include, but are not limited to, microcrystallinecellulose (e.g., Avicel® PH 101; Avicel® PH 102), mannitol (e.g.,Pearlitol® 100 SD or Pearlitol® 200 SD), lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, andthe like. In one embodiment, the filler is selected from the groupconsisting of microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol, and combinationsthereof. Examples of suitable glidants include, but are not limited to,silicone dioxide (e.g., colloidal silicon dioxide), calcium silicate,magnesium silicate, talc, and combinations thereof. In one embodiment,the glidant is colloidal silicone dioxide. Examples of suitablelubricants include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (e.g.,having a molecular weight of from 1000 to 6000), magnesium stearate,calcium stearate, sodium stearyl fumarate, talc, and the like. In oneembodiment, the lubricant is magnesium stearate. Examples of suitable pHmodifiers include, but are not limited to, organic acids, such astartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid; sodium citrate;magnesium or calcium carbonate or bicarbonate; and combinations thereof.In one embodiment, the pH modifier is tartaric acid. Examples ofsuitable surfactants include sodium lauryl sulfate.

In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about10 w/w % to about 35 w/w % of a pH modifier, and in particular, tartaricacid, fumaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, orcombinations thereof. In other embodiments, the formulation comprisesfrom about 20 w/w % to about 35 w/w %, or from about 20 w/w % to about30 w/w %, or from about 20 w/w % to about 25 w/w %, or about 10 w/w %,about 15 w/w. %, about 20 w/w %, about 25 w/w % or about 30 w/w % pHmodifier. In one embodiment, the pH modifier is tartaric acid.

As discussed herein, sustained peak plasma concentrations cantheoretically be achieved by means of sustained release matrix systems.However, when such systems are made of hydrophilic polymers, such asHPMC, they seldom provide pH independent drug release of pH-dependentsoluble drugs, and they are normally incapable of attaining zero-orderrelease except for practically insoluble drugs. Unexpectedly, is has nowbeen discovered that when a pH modifier, such as tartaric acid, fumaricacid, citric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, or combinations thereof,is used in a hydrophilic sustained release matrix system, it allowsCompound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solid state formthereof to be released at a steady rate regardless of the pH of theenvironment. In an unexpected finding, it was discovered that as atablet containing the hydrophilic polymer matrix system erodes, Compound1 reacts with the HPMC, creating a thicker gel layer which slows therelease of Compound 1 from the tablet. The resulting gel layer providesan environment suitable for Compound 1 to dissolve.

Thus, in one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition of the presentdisclosure exhibits a pH-independent release of the active ingredient(Compound 1). Advantageously, it has been discovered that includingorganic acids, such as a tartaric acid, in the composition as a pHmodifier improves the release profile, and results in a pH independentrelease of the active ingredient. Without wishing to be bound to anyparticular theory, it is believed that the pH modifier and hydrophilicpolymer create a microenvironment in which the active ingredientdissolves, and then is released. The release from the microenvironmentoccurs at approximately the same rate, regardless of pH. This isparticularly advantageous, since the pH of the gastrointestinal tractmay vary significantly from the stomach (e.g., pH of about 1.5-3), tothe duodenum (e.g., pH of about 4-5), to the lower part of the smallintestines (e.g., pH of about 6.5-7.5).

Thus, in one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is an extendedrelease formulation comprising Compound 1, or a pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt or solid state form thereof, a hydrophilic polymer, anda pH modifier, wherein the hydrophilic polymer, in contact with water,forms a gel layer that provides an environment suitable for Compound 1,or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solid state form thereof, todissolve. In some embodiments, the environment suitable for Compound 1,or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solid state form thereof, todissolve has a pH equal to or less than about 3.8 at 37° C. In some suchembodiments, the environment has a pH of from about 1.5 to about 3.7, orfrom about 2.0 to about 3.7, or from about 2.5 to about 3.6, or fromabout 3.0 to about 3.6, or from about 3.0 to about 3.5.

In one such embodiment, the environment suitable for Compound 1, or apharmaceutically acceptable salt or solid state form thereof, todissolve is as set forth above, and the extended release formulationcomprises from about 10 w/w % to about 35 w/w % of a pH modifier, and inparticular, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid,malic acid, or combinations thereof. In other embodiments, theformulation comprises from about 20 w/w % to about 35 w/w %, or fromabout 20 w/w % to about 30 w/w %, or from about 20 w/w % to about 25 w/w%, or about 10 w/w %, about 15 w/w %, about 20 w/w %, about 25 w/w % orabout 30 w/w % pH modifier. In any of these embodiments, the pH modifiermay be selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid, fumaricacid, citric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, and combinations thereof.In one such embodiment, the pH modifier is selected from the groupconsisting of tartaric acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid,and combinations thereof. In one such embodiment, the pH modifier isselected from the group consisting of tartaric acid and fumaric acid. Inone embodiment, the pH mortifier is tartaric acid. In one embodiment,the pH modifier is fumaric acid or citric acid. The weight % tartaricacid set forth herein is by weight of the uncoated composition (e.g.,uncoated tablet). In any of the foregoing embodiments, the hydrophilicpolymer may be a cellulose derivative with a viscosity of between 1000and 150,000 mPA-s. In one embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer isselected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose,hydroxyethyl cellulose, and mixtures or combinations thereof. In oneembodiment, the hydrophilic polymer is hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose. Inone embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer is hydroxypropylmethyl celluloseGrade E, F, or K. In one embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer isHypromellose 2208.

In one embodiment, the tablet is a compressed and/or milled tablet. Forexample, in some embodiments, the tablet is formed by blending thecomposition components (e.g., including the active ingredient and atleast one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier). The composition can thenbe either directly compressed, or one or more of the compositioncomponents can be granulated prior to compression. In one embodiment,milling is performed using a mill fitted with any suitable size screen(e.g., a fitted with a screen size of from about 600 to about 1400 μm orabout 610 μm or about 1397 μm). Compression can be done in a tabletpress, such as in a steel die between two moving punches.

In other embodiments, the compressed and/or milled tablet is formulatedusing a wet granulation process. Use of wet granulation helps reduceand/or eliminate sticking that may occur when compression without wetgranulation (e.g., direct compression) is used to formulate the tablets.In one embodiment, the wet granulation process may include the followingsteps: (a) combining the active ingredient (e.g., Compound 1 or apharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a solid state form ofCompound 1) and at least a portion of one additional compositioncomponent to form a dry granulation mixture; (b) contacting the drygranulation mixture with a granulation fluid to form a wet granulationmixture; (c) drying the wet granulation mixture to form a granulatedmaterial; (d) milling the granulated material to form a milledgranulated material; (e) combining the milled granulation material withthe remaining composition components; and (f) compressing thecomposition into the solid dosage unit (e.g., a tablet).

In step (a) of this process, the active ingredient may be combined with,for example, a portion of the release control polymer (e.g., HPMC), aportion of the filler (e.g., microcrystalline cellulose, such as Avicel®PH101), or both a portion of the release control polymer and a portionof the filler to form the dry granulation mixture. Any suitable portionof the release control polymer may be used in step (a). In oneembodiment, th from about 5 to 10 wt. % or from about 6 to 8 wt. % ofthe total amount of the release control polymer in the composition isused in step (a).

In certain embodiments, the granulation fluid used in step (b) maycomprise water, a suitable solvent (e.g., ethanol, isopropanol, etc.),or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the granulation fluidcomprises water. In one embodiment, the active ingredient may becombined with a portion of the filler, while a portion of the releasecontrol polymer (e.g., HPMC) is dissolved in a liquid, such as water, toform the granulation fluid. In one embodiment, the granulation fluid issprayed on the dry granulation mixture.

The dried granulation material may be milled using, for example, acomill fit with any suitable screen size. In one embodiment, the screensize is from about 600 to about 900 microns, or from about 610 to about813 microns. In one embodiment, the granulated material is milled usinga comill fitted with a 610 μm screen. In one embodiment, the granulatedmaterial is milled using a comill fitted with a 813 μm screen.

F2. Step F2: Alternate Preparation of Compound 1

As an alternative to the Step F1 procedure, Compound 1 was preparedaccording to Step F2.

To a THF (500 mL) slurry of CDI (67.1 g, 414 mmol) was added dropwise2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine (34.6 mL, 441 mmol) over 20 minutes whilemaintaining an internal temperature less than 30° C. The resultingsolution was stirred for 1 hour.

G. Alternate Process for Crystallization and Isolation of(3S,4R)-3-ethyl-4-(3H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,3-e]pyrazin-8-yl)-N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxamide(Compound 1)

Following the carbon filtration of the solution containing 50 g ofdissolved Compound 1 in Step F2 of Example 3, the solution was distilledto dryness. Two consecutive 250 mL portions of EtOAc were added anddistilled to approximately 100 mL to bring the water content of thesolution to below 1% w/w (as determined by coulometric Karl Fischertitration). This solution was adjusted to a total weight by adding 25%w/w EtOH 200 proof (75 g) and EtOAc (to give 500 g of solution). Thissolution was then treated with a 20 μm Teflon polish filter to removeresidual salts from the reaction work-up. After filtration, the solutionwas again distilled to approximately 100 mL, followed by addition of 2consecutive portions of 250 mL of EtOAc which were each distilled to aminimum volume (achieving a water content of not more than 0.05% w/wwater and not more than 1% w/w EtOH after the final distillation). Thefinal solution was adjusted to approximately 250 mL, and a sample wasanalyzed by HPLC to assay the concentration of Compound 1 (with a targetconcentration of not less than 18% w/w Compound 1).

Crystallization

The distillation product solution (250 g of total solution) wasseparated into two portions: 15% (37.5 g) and 85% (212.5 g) of the totalvolume. The 15% portion was added to the crystallization vessel anddiluted with a premixed solution of EtOAc (353 g) and water (3.95 g) toachieve a final solution of approximately 1.9% w/w of Compound 1 and 1%w/w of water. This solution was allowed to recirculate from thecrystallization vessel via a pump through an IKA wet mill(medium-fine-fine rotor-stator configuration) and returning into the topof the crystallization vessel. The wet mill was set to a rotor tip speedof 9 meters/sec and the crystallization solution was seeded with thedesired crystal form, Freebase Hydrate Form C, of Compound 1. Thiscrystal slurry was allowed to wet mill continuously for not less than 2hours at a recirculation rate giving least 10 turnovers of thecrystallization solution through the wet mill setup. Upon completion,the wet mill tip speed was reduced to 4 meters/sec, and the remaining85% of the Compound 1 product solution was slowly added into thecrystallization vessel over not less than 4 hours. After addition of theentire product solution, the antisolvent, n-heptane, was added slowlyover not less than 4 hours to achieve approximately 30% w/w (260 g) ofn-heptane in the final crystallization liquor (while maintaining a wetmill tip speed of 4 meters/second). Upon completion, wet milling wasdiscontinued, the crystal slurry contents were recirculated into thecrystallization vessel, and the crystal slurry was allowed to mix fornot less than 1 hour.

Isolation and Drying

The crystal slurry was filtered under low pressure (approximately 10psig of nitrogen) while collecting the mother liquor and continued untilthe resulting crystal cake was completely deliquored. A wash solution(69.4% w/w EtOAc, 30% w/w n-heptane, and 0.4% w/w water; 5 volumes ofwash in total, 250 mL) was applied to the wet cake in two portions bydeliquoring the cake completely after each portion. The wet cake waspurged with a stream of nitrogen for not less than 3 hours, and thenheated slowly (˜10° C./hour) to a target temperature of 50° C., not morethan 55° C. and allowed to dry for not less than 12 hours. After 12hours, a sample was taken to analyze the cake for residual ethyl acetateby gas chromatography and water content by Karl Fischer titration. Thefinal dry product was analyzed further for product identity, impurityprofiling, water content and Compound 1 potency.

A solution of TEA (5.82 mL, 41.8 mmol) in MeOH (60 mL) wasadded, and then the reactor was closed and was removed from the glovebox. The reactor was placed in a reactor station, and was purged firstwith inert gas and then pressurized with hydrogen (200 psig). Themixture was agitated and heated at 80° C. for 4 hours. The reaction wasmonitored by HPLC for conversion.

The reaction mixture was filtered through a polypropylene filter funnelwith diatomaceous earth/polyethylene fritted disc (Chemglass part#OP-6603-12) to remove the catalyst, and MeOH (10 mL) was used as arinse. The combined filtrate obtained was a light amber solution.

The combined filtrate from step 1 was concentrated in vacuo toapproximately 20 mL. The concentrate was diluted with THF (10 g) and wasconcentrated in vacuo to approximately 20 mL. This was repeated fouradditional times. The concentrate was then diluted with THF (40 mL). Tothis solution was added CDI (8.62 g, 53.2 mmol) in portions over 30minutes. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Thereaction was monitored by HPLC (derivatized with MeOH and DBU) forconversion.

Theconcentrate was diluted with water (22 mL) and was concentrated in vacuoto approximately 170 mL. This was repeated five additional times. By thelast concentration, the internal temperature was approximately 45° C.The solution was reduced to 5° C. over 6 hours. During this time theproduct precipitated. The slurry was held at 5° C. for 1 hour, and thenthe product was collected by vacuum filtration. The solid was washedwith water (100 mL) and was dried in a vacuum oven at 45° C. for 24hours.

The reaction mixture was agitated for 5 hours, cooledto 20° C., and then distilled under vacuum to approximately 65 mL. EtOAc(20 mL) and heptane (50 mL) were charged, and the reaction mixture waswashed with water (5×50 mL). The organic layer was concentrated undervacuum and chased with EtOAc (2×50 mL) concentrating to dryness eachtime.

A sample of the Freebase Hydrate Form B form of Compound 1 (crystallizedfrom ethanol/water at sub-ambient temperatures as described in Example5, Method C below) was placed in a vacuum oven at 40° C. overnight. Thesolids removed from the vacuum oven were equilibrated for a short timeat 23° C. prior to characterization. Conversion to Amorphous Freebase ofCompound 1 was confirmed by PXRD analysis.

Example 6: Preparation of Freebase Solvate Form A and Freebase HydrateForm B A. Method A: Freebase Solvate Form A (Isopropyl Acetate/WaterSolvate)

A sample of the Amorphous Freebase of Compound 1 (25 mg) was added to avial followed by isopropyl acetate (125 μL) and water (10 μL). Allsolids dissolved at ambient temperature. The solution was placed in afreezer at −16° C. for 4 days. The liquor was decanted and thecrystallized solids were isolated. The isolated crystals were analyzedby PXRD while still wet.

The reactor solution was cooled to approximately 2° C. Asmall portion of a seed solution comprising the Freebase Hydrate Form Bwas charged to the reactor. The suspension was mixed at approximately 2°C. for 3 hours and water (36 g) in was charged to the reactor in smallaliquots over several hours while maintaining the suspension at atemperature of approximately 2° C. The crystallized suspension was mixedat approximately 2° C. and the solids were isolated via filtration.Conversion to Freebase Hydrate Form B of Compound 1 was confirmed byPXRD analysis.

The Freebase Solvate Form A and Freebase Hydrate Form B do not readilycrystallize from solution. In general, sub-ambient temperatures andsufficient water activity are needed to crystallize Freebase SolvateForm A and Freebase Hydrate Form B from solution.

Crystalline freebase hydrates and solvates have been isolated fromseveral solvent systems either through primary nucleation (withoutseeding) or through seeding. In addition to crystallization fromisopropyl acetate/water (as described in Method A above), crystallinefreebase hydrates or solvates also have been isolated through primarynucleation (without seeding) from, e.g., n-butylamine/water andethanol/water solvent systems. In addition to crystallization frommethanol/water (as described in Method B above) and ethanol/water (asdescribed in Method C above), crystalline freebase hydrates or solvatesalso have been isolated through seeding from, e.g., acetone/water;acetonitrile/water; ethyl formate/water; methyl acetate/water; ethylacetate/water; methyl ethyl ketone/water; methyl isobutyl ketone/water,methyl isobutyl ketone/methyl tert-butyl ether/water; and isopropylacetate/methyl tert-butyl ether/water solvent systems. The FreebaseSolvate Form A (isopropyl acetate/water solvate) prepared in Method Aabove, the Freebase Hydrate Form B prepared in Methods B and C above,and these other crystalline freebase solvates or hydrates that have beenprepared are isostructural and exhibit similar PXRD patterns. Notably,these crystalline freebase solvates and hydrates are distinguishablefrom and exhibit a different PXRD pattern than Freebase Hydrate Form C(a hemihydrate), which is described below.

The Freebase Solvate Form A and Freebase Hydrate Form B that wereprepared were not stable after isolation at ambient conditions andreadily dehydrated to the Amorphous Freebase.

A sample of the Amorphous Freebase of Compound 1 (2 g) was transferredto a 500 mL beaker equipped with a stirring bar. EtOH (50 g) was addedto the beaker and stirred until all solids dissolved. The solution wastransferred to a 250 mL jacketed flask equipped with a dispersingdevice. The solution was cooled to 6° C. Water (150 g) was added to thesolution and the solution was subjected to high shear for two hoursusing the dispersing device. After solid formation was observed, anadditional amount of water (50 g) was added to the resulting suspension.The suspension was held overnight at ambient temperature. Solids wereisolated and examined on the following day. Conversion to Compound 1Freebase Hydrate Form C was confirmed by PXRD analysis.

B. Method B: Freebase Hydrate Form C from Ethyl Acetate/Heptane/Water

A crude reaction mixture assaying for 11.1 g of Compound 1 was taken upin 2% water in EtOAc (70 g) and seeded with Freebase Hydrate Form C (100mg). The suspension was stirred overnight and heptane (70 g) was added.The solids were collected by filtration, washed with water saturatedEtOAc/heptane (1/1, 100 mL), and dried under vacuum at 50° C. Conversionto Compound 1 Freebase Hydrate Form C was confirmed by PXRD analysis.

As was observed with the Freebase Solvate Form A and the FreebaseHydrate Form B, the Freebase Hydrate Form C also does not readilycrystallize from solution.

Example 8: Preparation of Tartrate Hydrate

Three methods for the preparation of Compound 1 tartrate tetrahydrate(the “Tartrate Hydrate”) are described below. Method A describes aninitial procedure that was used to prepare the tartrate tetrahydrate.Method B describes a modified procedure used to prepare the tartratetetrahydrate at a larger scale. Method C describes a further modifiedprocedure used to prepare the tartrate tetrahydrate. The modifiedprocedure of Method C relative to the procedure of Method B furtherreduces solidification of the filter cake, a potential problem thatpotentially can impact manufacturability and downstream processing.

Crystallization: Compound 1 (104 g) was added to a flask together withisopropanol (222.7 g) and IPAc (375.8 g). The components were mixedunder ambient conditions until the solids dissolved. In a separateflask, L-tartaric acid (61.6 g) was dissolved in water (98.3 g). Thecontents of the two flasks were then added to a jacketed reactor.Tartrate tetrahydrate seed crystals (1.55 g) were added to the reactorsolution. The resulting suspension was mixed overnight under ambientconditions. IPAc (2542 g) was charged to the reactor suspension over an8 hour period.

Filtration, Washing and Driving: Approximately half of the crystallizedtartrate suspension was charged to a jacketed agitated filter dryer. Thesuspension was cooled inside the filter dryer to approximately 11° C.The suspension was filtered using positive pressure until a wet cake wasobtained. Water saturated IPAc (438 g) was charged to the filter dryerand the suspension was mixed overnight at approximately 11° C. Thesuspension was filtered using positive pressure until a wet cake wasobtained. Water saturated MTBE (110 g) was charged to the filter dryer.After 10 minutes, the suspension was filtered with positive pressureuntil a wet cake was obtained. Water saturated MTBE (261 g) was chargedto the filter dryer and the suspension was mixed at approximately 11° C.for 3.5 hours. The suspension was filtered with agitation using positivepressure until a wet cake was obtained. The wet cake was dried withconstant agitation at a temperature of approximately 11° C. underhumidified nitrogen and positive pressure for two days. Conversion tothe Compound 1 Tartrate Hydrate (tetrahydrate) was confirmed by PXRDanalysis.

Example 9: Preparation of Hydrochloride Solvate Form AA

Initial Preparation: A sample of the Amorphous Freebase of Compound 1(23.8 mg), EtOAc (200 μL), and concentrated HCl (5 μL) were added to avial. The viscous solution was warmed on a hot plate at 50° C. MeOH (20μL) was added to the solution and stirring continued. EtOH (10 μL) wasadded and stirring continued at 50° C. The resulting solution wasbi-phasic. The vial was placed in a bath at 0° C. while mixing with amagnetic stirrer continued. A white solid was obtained afterapproximately 1.5 hours.

Asample of the Amorphous Freebase of Compound 1 (50.3 mg), EtOAc (500μL), and concentrated HCl (11 IL) were added to a vial. The solution waswarmed on a hot plate and the same viscous phase as observed in theabove-described procedure was obtained. EtOH (40 μL) was added to thesolution and stirring continued. MeOH (40 μL) was added and the vial wasplaced in a bath at 0° C. while mixing with a magnetic stirrercontinued. Once the solution was cooled, a drop of the seed slurry fromthe initial preparation was added. The suspension was mixed for 30minutes in the cooling bath. The vial was placed in a freezer at −16° C.overnight. The solids in the vial were isolated via vacuum filtration.The filtered solids were equilibrated for a short period of time priorto characterization.

Example 16: PXRD Analysis

The solid state forms of Compound 1 listed in Table 15-A were analyzedby X-ray powder diffraction (“PXRD”). The PXRD data were collected witha G3000 diffractometer (Inel Corp., Artenay, France) equipped with acurved position sensitive detector and parallel beam optics. Thediffractometer was operated with a copper anode tube (1.5 kW fine focus)at 40 kV and 30 mA. An incident beam germanium monochromator providedmonochromatic Kα1 radiation λ=1.540562 Å). The diffractometer wascalibrated using the attenuated direct beam at one-degree intervals.Calibration was checked using a silicon powder line position referencestandard (NIST 640c). Samples were prepared by spreading the samplepowder in a thin layer on an aluminum sample holder and gently levelingwith a glass microscope slide. The instrument was computer controlledusing the Symphonix software (Inel Corp., Artenay, France) and the datawas analyzed using the Jade software (version 6.5, Materials Data, Inc.,Livermore, CA). The aluminum sample holder was mounted on the rotatingsample holder of the G3000 diffractometer and the diffraction datacollected at ambient conditions.

Tables 16-A through 16-J set out the significant parameters of the mainpeaks in terms of 20 values and intensities for the crystalline formsanalyzed. It is known in the art that an X-ray powder diffractionpattern may be obtained which has one or more measurement errorsdepending on measurement conditions (such as equipment, samplepreparation or machine used). In particular, it is generally known thatintensities in an X-ray powder diffraction pattern may fluctuatedepending on measurement conditions and sample preparation. For example,persons skilled in the art of X-ray powder diffraction will realize thatthe relative intensities of peaks may vary according to the orientationof the sample under testing and on the type and setting of theinstrument used. The skilled person also will realize that the positionof reflections can be affected by the precise height at which the samplesits in the diffractometer and the zero calibration of thediffractometer. The surface planarity of the sample also may have aneffect on the results. A person skilled in the art will appreciate thatthe diffraction pattern data presented below is not to be construed asabsolute and any crystalline form that provides a power diffractionpattern substantially identical to those disclosed below fall within thescope of the present disclosure (for further information see Jenkins, R& Snyder, R. L. ‘Introduction to X-Ray Powder Diffractometry’, JohnWiley & Sons, 1996).

As with all thermal analysis, one of skill in the art will appreciatethat the DSC thermogram may change to some extent depending on factorssuch as heating rate, sample particle size, sample purity, samplemoisture content, ambient relative humidity, etc.

Example 20: Moisture Sorption Isotherm

The solid state forms of Compound 1 listed in Table 15-A were analyzedin a moisture vapor isotherm study. Moisture vapor isotherm data werecollected with a DVS Advantage (Surface Measurement Systems Ltd,Alperton, United Kingdom). The sample powder (5 mg to 20 mg) was loadedon a tared pan of the DVS Advantage. The moisture sorption isotherm datawere collected from 30-0-90-0-30% relative humidity in 10% relativehumidity intervals. For each step, the dm/dt criteria was 0.001% over 5minutes, a minimum dm/dt time of 30 minutes, and a maximum dm/dt of 120minutes. Data was collected isothermally at 25° C. with a nitrogen flowrate of 200 cm³/minute. The post DVS sample was kept at approximately30% relative humidity before PXRD analysis.

The moisture sorption isotherm corresponding to the Amorphous Freebase(via dehydration) is shown in FIG. 6A.

The moisture sorption isotherm corresponding to the Freebase HydrateForm C (Hemihydrate) is shown in FIG. 6B.

The moisture sorption isotherm corresponding to the Tartrate Hydrate isshown in FIG. 6C.

The moisture sorption isotherm corresponding to the Freebase AnhydrateForm D is shown in FIG. 6D.

Amorphous Freebase: Moisture sorption isotherm analysis indicates thatthe Amorphous Freebase obtained through dehydration of Freebase HydrateForm B reversibly sorbs up to 13% at 90% relative humidity at 25° C.

Freebase Hydrate Form B: No moisture sorption isotherm could be obtainedfor Freebase Hydrate Form B. The Freebase Hydrate Form B is not stableat ambient conditions and readily dehydrates to the Amorphous Freebase.

Freebase Hydrate Form C: Moisture sorption isotherm analysis indicatesthat the Freebase Hydrate Form C is not hygroscopic.

Tartrate Hydrate: Moisture sorption isotherm analysis indicates that theTartrate Hydrate dehydrates to an amorphous tartrate below 10% relativehumidity at 25° C. If the moisture sorption isotherm analysis isrestricted to a relative humidity range of 10% to 90%, the appearance ofthe moisture sorption isotherm generally will correspond to the moisturesorption shown in FIG. 6C for the Tartrate Hydrate.

Freebase Anhydrate Form D: Moisture sorption isotherm analysis indicatesthat Freebase Anhydrate Form D reversibly sorbs up to 1.8% water at 90%relative humidity at 25° C.

Example 21: Solid State Accelerated Stability Study

The solid state forms of Compound 1 listed in Table 15-A were analyzedin a solid state accelerated stability study. Samples (approximately 1mg to 2 mg) of the solid state form were weighed into glass vials andtested as described below. Chemical stability was acceptable for theAmorphous Freebase, the Freebase Hydrate Form C, and the TartrateHydrate. The L-maleate salt, however, was prone to chemical degradation.

Amorphous Freebase: The Amorphous Freebase exhibited no growth ofdegradation products after storage at 50° C./75% relative humidity (openand closed glass vials) for up to six weeks and after storage at 40°C./75% relative humidity (open and closed glass vials) for up to 24weeks.

No material change was observed for any ofthe attributes evaluated (description, crystal form, assay, impuritiesand water content).

L-Maleate Form BBB: When stored at 50° C./75% relative humidity (openand closed glass vials), the L-maleate salt degraded to products thatwere not observed for the Freebase Hydrate Form C or the TartrateHydrate.

Example 22: Thermal Degradation Study

The solid state forms of Compound 1 listed in Table 15-A were analyzedin a thermal degradation study. The following pH solutions wereprepared: 0.1N hydrochloric acid (HCl); 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer(pH 7.4, adjusted to 0.155 M ionic strength with sodium chloride) andFasSIF (pH 6.5). For each buffer, a target concentration of about 100pg/mL was prepared by accurately weighing about 1 mg of the solid stateform using a microanalytical balance into a scintillation vial. Water (1mL) was added to dissolve the solid as a stock solution. The stocksolution was diluted 10 times in the various buffers to prepare reactionsolutions. The peak area of the compound in these reaction solutions wasmonitored at 37° C. by HPLC every two hours up to 32 hours total.

Example 23: Solubility Stability

For equilibrium solubility, sufficient solid was added to 3-4 mL liquidmedium in triplicate, such that excess solid remained undissolved. Themixtures were equilibrated for 24-48 hr at 25 rpm on an end-over-endtumbler model 30-1200 (Vankel, Cary, NC) in a constant temperature waterbath. After equilibration, the mixtures were inspected to assure thatthe amount of excess solid was sufficient to permit re-characterization.If not, additional solid was added and the mixtures were againequilibrated for 24-48 hr. The pH of aqueous suspensions was determinedafter equilibration. The solid phase was separated from the liquid phaseby centrifugation at 3300 rpm at equilibration temperatures (i.e., 25°C. or 37° C.). The supernatant was then filtered (13 mm Acrodisc®syringe filter with 0.45 μGHP membrane, Pall® Life Sciences, Ann Arbor,MI) to discard the initial 2 mL (to saturate filter) and capture thelast 1 mL for analysis. The filtrate was diluted as needed forquantification of the material studied by HPLC method (as detailedelsewhere herein). The physical form of the recovered solid wascharacterized by powder X-ray diffraction to examine whether or notphase change had occurred

The results are set forth in Table 23-A.

Examples 24-27: Extended Release Tablets

The Freebase Hydrate Form C and Amorphous Freebase solid state form ofCompound 1 listed in Table 15-A were formulated into 24 mg extendedrelease tablets according to the formulations set forth in Table 24-A.

TABLE 24-A Extended Release Tablets (no pH modifier) Ex. 24 Ex. 25 Ex.26 (ER1) (ER2) (ER3) Ex. 27 Component Function (mg) (mg) (mg) (mg)Freebase Hydrate Active 24.0 24.0 24.0 — Form C Amorphous FreebaseActive — — — 24.0 Microcrystalline Filler 351.4 303.4 303.4 303.4cellulose (Avicel ® PH 102) HPMC (Methocel ® Release 96.0 96.0 — — K100Premium control LVCRLH) polymer HPMC (Methocel ® Release — 48.0 144.0144.0 K4M Premium CR) control polymer Colloidal silicon Glidant 3.8 3.83.8 3.8 dioxide Magnesium stearate Lubricant 4.8 4.8 4.8 4.8 impalpablepowder Uncoated weight of tablet 480.0 480.0 480.0 480.0

The formulations were prepared by combining and blending the active,microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), andcolloidal silicone dioxide. The blend was milled using a Mobil Millfitted with a 610 micron screen. The magnesium stearate was screenedthrough mesh #30 and was added to the bin and blended.

The lubricated granulation was compressed into 480 mg weight tabletsusing a rotary tablet press. The tablets may optionally be coated withany suitable film coating.

The effect of solid state form on the dissolution profile of the tabletswas evaluated. In particular, the dissolution profile of the Example 26(containing Freebase Hydrate Form C as active) and Example 27(containing Amorphous Freebase as active) tablets was evaluated at pH6.8 (representative of the pH in the lower intestine). The dissolutiontest was carried out using the following dissolution parameters andconditions:

-   -   Apparatus: USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 and fraction collector    -   Medium: 900 mL of 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer solution, pH        6.8.    -   Temperature: 37° C.±0.5° C.    -   RPM: 75 RPM+4%    -   Filter: 35 μm PE filter, or equivalent, for automatic sampling    -   Sampling Times: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20 Hours.        -   Other samples may be taken at other times, as appropriate.    -   Sample Volume: 1.5 mL obtained automatically, without media        replacement.

The medium used for the study was a 0.05 M sodium phosphate buffersolution, pH 6.8±0.05. The medium was prepared using an acid stagemedium (0.1 N hydrochloric acid solution) and a buffer stage concentrate(0.05 M sodium phosphate buffer concentrate solution, prepared bydissolving about 41.4 g of sodium phosphate, monobasic, monohydrate andabout 14.4 g of sodium hydroxide pellets in about 4 L of water, diluteto 6 L with water and mixing well). The medium was prepared by mixing500 mL of the acid stage medium and 400 mL of buffer stage concentratein an appropriate size container or directly in the dissolution vesseland adjusting the pH with 1 N phosphoric acid or 1 N sodium hydroxide,if the pH was not within 6.8±0.05.

For the dissolution test, one tablet each was added to a dissolutionvessel containing 900 mL of the 0.05 M sodium phosphate buffer solutionmaintained at 37° C. The paddles of the dissolution apparatus wereoperated at 75 RPM, with 1.5 mL samples from the dissolution vesselautomatically obtained at the designated time periods. The samplefiltrate was the sample preparation.

For the analysis of the sample, conventional liquid chromatographymethods were utilized, wherein the % of the labelled amount of activereleased (% LA Released) was calculated. The results are set forth inFIG. 7 .

As can be seen from FIG. 7 , the formulation containing Freebase HydrateForm C (Example 26) as the active showed a slower rate of dissolutionthan the formulation containing Amorphous Freebase (Example 27) as theactive at pH 6.8.

The dissolution profile of formulations comprising Freebase Hydrate FormC as an active was further evaluated at pH 6.8 and in a dual pH system.In particular, the dissolution profile of the Example 24 (ER1), Example25 (ER2), and Example 26 (ER3) tablets at pH 6.8 was carried out asdescribed above. The dissolution profile of the Examples 24-26 tabletswas also carried out in a dual pH system using the following dissolutionparameters and conditions:

-   -   Apparatus: USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 and fraction collector    -   Medium: Acid Stage: 500 mL of Acid Stage Medium (0.1 N        hydrochloric acid solution)        -   Buffer Stage: 900 mL of 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer            solution, pH 6.8.    -   Temperature: 37° C.±0.5° C.    -   RPM: 75 RPM+4%    -   Filter: 35 μm PE filter, or equivalent, for automatic sampling    -   Sampling Times: Acid Stage: 1 Hour        -   Buffer Stage: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20 Hours.        -   Other samples may be taken at other times, as appropriate.    -   Sample Volume: Acid: 1.5 mL obtained automatically, without        media replacement.

The acid stage medium is a 0.1 N hydrochloric acid solution. A bufferstage medium for the study was prepared using a buffer stage concentrate(0.05 M sodium phosphate buffer concentrate solution, prepared bydissolving about 41.4 g of sodium phosphate, monobasic, monohydrate andabout 14.4 g of sodium hydroxide pellets in about 4 L of water, diluteto 6 L with water and mixing well). The buffer stage medium of a 0.05 Msodium phosphate buffer solution, pH 6.8±0.05, was prepared by mixing500 mL of the acid stage medium and 400 mL of buffer stage mediumconcentrate in an appropriate size container or directly in thedissolution vessel and adjusting the pH of the buffer stage mediumconcentrate with 1 N phosphoric acid or 1 N sodium hydroxide, if the pHwas not within 6.8±0.05.

For the dissolution test, one tablet each was added to a dissolutionvessel containing 500 mL of a 0.1 N hydrochloric acid solutionmaintained at 37° C. The paddles of the dissolution apparatus wereoperated at 75 RPM for 1 hour, and then a 1.5 mL sample from thedissolution vessel was automatically obtained. After the acid stagesample was obtained, 400 mL of buffer stage medium concentrate wasadded, maintained at 37° C. The dissolution test was continued, with thepaddles remaining at a speed of 75 RPM. The sample filtrate was thesample preparation.

For the analysis of the sample, conventional liquid chromatographymethods were utilized, wherein the % relative standard deviation (RSD)of peak areas was calculated for each set of six standard injections.The results are set forth in FIG. 8 .

As can be seen from FIG. 8 , after the initial release at the low pH(representative of the pH in the stomach), release of the drug is slowedat the higher pH (representative of the pH in the lower intestine).Therefore, in order to achieve the desired bioavailability, aformulation which allowed pH independent release was required.

Examples 28-35: Extended Release Tablets

The Freebase Hydrate Form C solid state form of Compound 1 listed inTable 15-A was formulated into 15 mg, 24 mg, or 30 mg extended releasetablets according to the formulations set forth in Table 28-A usingdirect compression.

The formulations were prepared by first milling the tartaric acidthrough a Fitz mill Model M5A, fitted with a 1512-0027 screen. TheFreebase Hydrate Form C, microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol (whenpresent), milled tartaric acid, release control polymer, and colloidalsilicone dioxide (when present) were combined and blended. The blend wasmilled using a Mobil Mill fitted with a 610 or 1397 micron screen. Themagnesium stearate was screened through mesh #30 and was then added tothe bin and blended. The lubricated granulation was compressed intoabout 480 mg weight tablets using a rotary tablet press.

The Example 28 and 31 tablets were coated using a film coater, whichsprayed a solution containing the Opadry® II Yellow film coat andpurified water until 14.40 mg of coating had been applied to thetablets.

The dissolution profile of the Example 32 (ER4, 24 mg active), Example33 (ER4, no mannitol, 24 mg active), Example 34 (ER5, 24 mg active), andExample 35 (ER6, 24 mg active) tablets was evaluated at pH 1.2, at pH6.8, and in a dual pH system. The pH 6.8 study was performed asdescribed above for Examples 26 and 27. For the dual pH study, an acidstage medium of 0.05 M sodium phosphate solution, pH 3.5±0.05, wasprepared by dissolving about 41.4 g of sodium phosphate, monobasic,monohydrate in about 4 L of water, measuring the pH and addingphosphoric acid, 85%, dropwise as needed to adjust to the target pH. Themixture was diluted to 6 L with water and mixed. A buffer stage mediumfor the study was prepared using a buffer stage concentrate (0.05 Msodium phosphate buffer concentrate solution, prepared by dissolvingabout 41.4 g of sodium phosphate, monobasic, monohydrate and about 14.4g of sodium hydroxide pellets in about 4 L of water, dilute to 6 L withwater and mixing well). The buffer stage medium of a 0.05 M sodiumphosphate buffer solution, pH 6.8±0.05, was prepared by mixing 500 mL ofthe acid stage medium and 400 mL of buffer stage medium concentrate inan appropriate size container or directly in the dissolution vessel andadjusting the pH of the buffer stage medium concentrate with 1 Nphosphoric acid or 1 N sodium hydroxide, if the pH was not within6.8±0.05.

The dissolution test was carried out using the following dissolutionparameters and conditions:

-   -   Apparatus: USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 and fraction collector    -   Medium: Acid Stage: 500 mL of Acid Stage Medium        -   Buffer Stage: 900 mL of 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer            solution, pH 6.8    -   Temperature: 37° C.±0.5° C.    -   RPM: 75 RPM+4%    -   Filter: 35 μm PE filter, or equivalent, for automatic sampling    -   Sampling Times: Acid Stage: 1 Hour        -   Buffer Stage: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20 Hours.        -   Other samples may be taken at other times, as appropriate.    -   Sample Volume: Acid and Buffer Stage: 1.5 mL obtained        automatically, without media replacement.

For the dissolution test, one tablet each was added to a dissolutionvessel containing 500 mL of the acid stage medium, maintained at 37° C.The paddles of the dissolution apparatus were operated at 75 RPM for 1hour, and then a 1.5 mL sample from the dissolution vessel wasautomatically obtained. After the acid stage sample was obtained, 400 mLof buffer stage medium concentrate was added, and then the mixture wasmaintained at 37° C. The dissolution test was continued, with thepaddles remaining at a speed of 75 RPM. The sample filtrate was thesample preparation.

For the pH 1.2 study, the dissolution test was carried out using thefollowing dissolution parameters and conditions:

-   -   Apparatus: USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 and fraction collector    -   Medium: 500 mL of Acidic Medium, pH 1.2    -   Temperature: 37° C.±0.5° C.    -   RPM: 75 RPM+4%    -   Filter: 35 μm PE filter, or equivalent, for automatic sampling    -   Sampling Times: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20 Hours.        -   Other samples may be taken at other times, as appropriate.    -   Sample Volume: 1.5 mL obtained automatically, without media        replacement.

For this study, an acidic medium of 0.05 M sodium phosphate solution, pH3.5±0.05, was prepared by dissolving about 41.4 g of sodium phosphate,monobasic, monohydrate in about 4 L of water, measuring the pH andadding phosphoric acid, 85%, dropwise as needed to adjust to the targetpH of 1.2. The mixture was diluted to 6 L with water and mixed.

For the dissolution test, one tablet each was added to a dissolutionvessel containing 500 mL of the acidic medium, maintained at 37° C. Thepaddles of the dissolution apparatus were operated at 75 RPM, with 1.5mL samples from the dissolution vessel automatically obtained at thedesignated time periods. The sample filtrate was the sample preparation.

For the analysis of the sample, conventional liquid chromatographymethods were utilized, wherein the % relative standard deviation (RSD)of peak areas was calculated for each set of six standard injections.The results are set forth in FIG. 9 (Example 32 and 33 tablets), FIG. 10(Example 34 tablet) and FIG. 11 (Example 35 tablet). As can be seen fromFIGS. 9-11 , pH independence is achieved in the once daily formulations.

The dissolution profile of the Example 28 (ER7), Example 31 (ER8), andExample 32 (ER4) tablets were evaluated in a dual pH system, asdescribed above. The results are set forth in FIGS. 12 and 13 . As canbe seen from FIGS. 12 and 13 , the formulations provide an extendedrelease profile of 80-100% over a period of about 8-10 hours.

The formulations of Examples 28 and 31-35 all exhibited pH independentrelease of the active ingredient. In contrast, as can be seen from FIG.8 , after the initial release at the low pH, release of the active isslowed at the higher pH for the formulations of Examples 24-26. Withoutwishing to be bound to any particular theory, it is believed that theinclusion of tartaric acid as a pH modifier in the Example 28 and 31-35formulations contributed to the pH independent release observed forthese tablets. A comparison of the dissolution profile of the Example 24(no pH modifier), Example 26 (no pH modifier), and Example 32 (tartaricacid pH modifier) tablets in a dual pH system is depicted in FIG. 14 .

The magnesium stearate was thenadded to the bin and blended. The lubricated granulation was compressedinto about 480 mg weight tablets using a rotary tablet press.

The tablets were coated using a film coater, which sprayed a solutioncontaining the Opadry® II Yellow film coat and purified water until 14.4mg of coating had been applied to the tablets.

Example 43: Evaluation of the Effect of Organic Acids on DissolutionProfile of Extended Release Tablets

In this example, the effect of various organic acid pH modifiers (e.g.,tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, and fumaric acid) on therelease rate of Freebase Hydrate Form C from 24 mg once-daily extendedrelease (ER) tablets was evaluated. Freebase Hydrate Form C wasformulated into 24 mg extended release tablets according to theformulations set forth in Table 43-A.

The formulations were prepared by first milling the organic acid througha Fitz mill Model M5A, fitted with a 1512-0027 screen. The active,microcrystalline cellulose, milled organic acid, and release controlpolymer, were combined and blended. The blend was milled using a MobilMill fitted with a 610 micron screen. The magnesium stearate wasscreened through mesh #30 and was added to the bin and blended. Thelubricated granulation was compressed into 480 mg weight tablets using arotary tablet press.

The effect of the organic acids on the dissolution profile of thetablets was evaluated at pH 1.2 and pH 6.8. The dissolution tests werecarried out using the dissolution parameters and conditions as describedabove in Examples 26 and 27 and 32-35. For analysis of the sample,conventional liquid chromatography methods were utilized, wherein the %of the labelled amount of active released (% LA Released) wascalculated. The results are set forth in FIGS. 15A-15H.

As can be seen from these results, organic acids improved dissolutionrate at high pH, with tartaric acid showing the best improvement. Theformulations comprising the control release polymer Carbopol® withtartaric acid provided near linear release at pH 6.8.

Example 44: Gel pH Measurements for Tablets with Different Amounts ofTartaric Acid

To measure the pH of the environment created when Compound 1 reacts withHPMC, the following experiment was performed.

The Freebase Hydrate Form C solid state form of Compound 1 wasformulated into 30 mg extended release tablets according to theformulations set forth in Table 44-A. The tablets were prepared using awet granulation process, as described in Examples 37-42.

Dissolution media of 0.01 N HCl (pH 2) and 113 mM sodium phosphatebuffer (pH 6.8) was prepared at 37° C. One tablet was added to 500 mL of0.01 N HCl media and stirred at 75 rpm at 37° C. for one hour in aVankel VK 7010 dissolution bath. Then 400 mL of sodium phosphate bufferwas added. The solution was stirred an additional three hours. Thetablet was removed, rinsed with water and dried using laboratorytissues. The gel that formed on the tablet was separated from the drycore for pH measurement. This procedure was repeated three times foreach formulation. The pH of the gel formed on the tablets is set forthin Table 44-B. The pH results are plotted in FIG. 31 .

Example 45: Evaluation of the In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Profile of 15 mgExtended Release Tablets (Fasting)

The pharmacokinetic profile of the 15 mg once-daily extended release(ER) tablets prepared in Example 28 was evaluated, and compared to thatof a 12 mg immediate-release (IR) capsule comprising Tartrate Hydrate asthe active.

Healthy human subjects (n=11) were administered a single dose of the 12mg IR capsule (Regimen A) and the 15 mg ER (once-daily) tablet fromExample 28 (Regimen B) under fasting conditions in a randomized,two-period, cross-over study design. Subjects were administered RegimenA in the first study period and Regimen B in the second study period, oradministered Regimen B in the first study period and Regimen A in thesecond study period. Serial blood samples were collected from eachsubject prior to dosing and for 72 hours after dosing in each studyperiod. Upon collection, the samples were promptly placed in an icebath, and within 2 hours after sample collection they were centrifugedat about 4° C. The resulting plasma samples were placed in cleanpolypropylene-tubes and stored in a freezer until analysis. The plasmasamples were assayed for Compound 1 using appropriate liquidchromatography mass spectrometry procedures. Pharmacokinetic parameterswere estimated using non-compartmental methods, and summary statisticswere computed for each parameter by regimen.

The results are summarized in Table 45-A. The mean concentration ofCompound 1 at each time point using linear (FIG. 16A) and semi-log (FIG.16B) scales for each of the two regimens is set forth in FIGS. 16A and16B.

Example 47: Comparison of the In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Profile of 30 mgExtended Release Tablets Under Fasting Versus Fed Conditions

The pharmacokinetic profile of the 30 mg extended release tabletsprepared in Example 31 after a high-fat meal was evaluated, and comparedto the pharmacokinetic profile of the 30 mg extended release tabletsunder fasting conditions (see Example 46).

Following completion of the Example 46 study, the healthy human subjects(n=12) were administered single doses of the 30 mg ER (once daily)tablet from Example 31 after a high-fat meal (Regimen E). Serial bloodsamples were collected from each subject prior to dosing and for 72hours after dosing. Upon collection, the samples were promptly placed inan ice bath, and within 2 hours after sample collection they werecentrifuged at about 4° C. The resulting plasma samples were placed inclean polypropylene-tubes and stored in a freezer until analysis. Theplasma samples were assayed for Compound 1 using appropriate liquidchromatography mass spectrometry procedures.

Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using non-compartmentalmethods, and summary statistics were computed for each parameter, andcompared to the pharmacokinetic parameters for the 30 mg tabletsadministered under fasting conditions (see Example 46, Regimen D). Theresults are summarized in Table 47-A. The mean concentration of Compound1 at each time point using linear (FIG. 18A) and semi-log (FIG. 18B)scales for each of the two regimens is set forth in FIGS. 18A and 18B.

As can be seen from Tables 47-A and 47-B, there is no clinicallymeaningful food effect for the 30 mg ER tablets. Administrationfollowing a high-fat meal increased the Compound 1 mean AUC and C_(max)by 17% and 20%, respectively.

Example 48: Observed Steady State Exposures for 15 mg and 30 mg ExtendedRelease Tablets Under Non-Fasting Conditions

The steady state pharmacokinetic profile of the 15 mg once dailyextended release (ER) tablets (prepared in Example 28) and the 30 mgonce daily ER tablets (prepared in Example 31) was evaluated.

Healthy human subjects (n=24) were assigned to one of two regimens.Subjects in Regimen F (n=12) were administered the 15 mg ER tablet fromExample 28 once daily for seven days under non-fasting conditions.Subjects in Regimen G (n=12) were administered the 30 mg ER tablet fromExample 31 once daily for seven days under non-fasting conditions. Ondays one and seven, serial blood samples were collected from eachsubject prior to the daily dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing. Uponcollection, the samples were promptly placed in an ice bath, and within2 hours after sample collection they were centrifuged at about 4° C. Theresulting plasma samples were placed in clean polypropylene-tubes andstored in a freezer until analysis. The plasma samples were assayed forCompound 1 using appropriate liquid chromatography mass spectrometryprocedures. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated usingnon-compartmental methods, and summary statistics were computed for eachparameter by regimen.

As can be seen from this data, the observed steady state C_(max) andAUC₂₄ following 15 mg QD and 30 mg QD administration are generallyconsistent with the single dose and food-effect results obtained inExamples 45-47. The bioavailability of the 15 mg and 30 mg ER tablets is70% to 80% relative to the same dose of IR capsules.

Example 49: Observed Steady State Exposures for 15 mg Extended ReleaseTablets and 6 mg Immediate Release Capsules Under Fasting Conditions

The steady state pharmacokinetic profile of the 15 mg once dailyextended release (ER) tablets (prepared in Example 28) under fastingconditions was evaluated, and compared to that of a 6 mg immediaterelease (IR) twice daily (BID) capsule comprising Tartrate Hydrate asthe active.

Healthy human subjects were assigned to one of two regimens underfasting conditions in a randomized, two-period, cross-over study design.Subjects in Regimen K (n=12 at onset; n=11 on Day 7) were administeredthe 6 mg IR capsule twice daily for seven days under fasting conditions.Subjects in Regimen L (n=12) were administered the 15 mg ER tablet fromExample 28 once daily for seven days under fasting conditions. On daysone and seven, serial blood samples were collected from each subjectprior to the daily dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing. Blood sampleswere also collected at 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after initial dosing.Upon collection, the samples were promptly placed in an ice bath, andwithin 2 hours after sample collection they were centrifuged at about 4°C. The resulting plasma samples were placed in clean polypropylene-tubesand stored in a freezer until analysis. The plasma samples were assayedfor Compound 1 using appropriate liquid chromatography mass spectrometryprocedures. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated usingnon-compartmental methods, and summary statistics were computed for eachparameter by regimen.

The ratio of steady-state AUC for the 15 mg QD tablets relative to the 6mg BID capsules was approximately 1, with the 90% confidence intervalswithin the equivalence boundaries. The ratio of the steady-state C_(min)was approximately 1 for the 15 mg QD tablet relative to the 6 mg BIDcapsules.

The pre-morning dose trough concentration (C_(trough)) for the 6 mg BIDcapsules and 15 mg QD tablets was determined prior to the morning doseon Days 2-8. The results are set forth in FIG. 21 .

As can be seen from this data, at steady state under fasting conditions,the 15 mg QD tablets provided equivalent AUC₂₄ and comparable C_(max)and C_(min) relative to the 6 mg BID capsules. The steady state C_(max)was 10% lower for the 15 mg QD tablet compared to the 6 mg BID capsule.

Example 50: Observed Steady State Exposures for 30 mg Extended ReleaseTablets and 12 mg Immediate Release Capsules Under Fasting Conditions

The steady state pharmacokinetic profile of the 30 mg once dailyextended release (ER) tablets (prepared in Example 31) under fastingconditions was evaluated, and compared to that of a 12 mg immediaterelease (IR) twice daily (BID) capsule comprising Tartrate Hydrate asthe active.

Healthy human subjects were assigned to one of two regimens underfasting conditions in a randomized, two-period, cross-over study design.Subjects in Regimen M (n=11) were administered the 12 mg IR capsuletwice daily for seven days under fasting conditions. Subjects in RegimenN (n=12 at onset; n=11 at Day 7) were administered the 30 mg ER tabletfrom Example 31 once daily for seven days under fasting conditions. Ondays one and seven, serial blood samples were collected from eachsubject prior to the daily dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing. Bloodsamples were also collected at 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after initialdosing. Upon collection, the samples were promptly placed in an icebath, and within 2 hours after sample collection they were centrifugedat about 4° C. The resulting plasma samples were placed in cleanpolypropylene-tubes and stored in a freezer until analysis.

The ratio of steady-state AUC for the 30 mg QD tablets relative to the12 mg BID capsules was approximately 1, with the 90% confidenceintervals within the equivalence boundaries. The steady-state C_(min)for the 30 mg QD tablet was approximately 13% lower than for the 12 mgBID capsules. Outliers with high C_(min) in the 12 mg BID dose may havecontributed to this difference.

The pre-morning dose trough concentration (C_(trough)) for the 12 mg BIDcapsules and 30 mg QD tablets was determined prior to the morning doseon Days 2-8. The results are set forth in FIG. 23 . As can be seen fromthis data, at steady state under fasting conditions, the 30 mg QDtablets provided equivalent AUC₂₄ and comparable C_(max) and C_(min)relative to the 12 mg BID capsules. The steady state C_(max) was 10%lower for the 30 mg QD tablet compared to the 12 mg BID capsules.

Example 54: Preliminary Data from Phase 1 Study in Healthy Volunteersand Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Compound 1 has been studied in 2 Phase 1 studies, first in human singleascending dose study (Study M13-401, described in WO 2015/061665, andreferred to herein as Study 1), and then in a multiple ascending dosestudy (Study M13-845, also generally referred to in WO 2015/061665, andreferred to herein as Study 2).

In Study 1, a total of 42 healthy volunteers received a single dose ofCompound 1. In Study 2, a total of 32 healthy volunteers receivedmultiple doses of Compound 1 for 14 days (Study 2, Part 1). In addition,14 patients with RA were enrolled and completed the double-blind Part 2of Study 2. The study was designed as a multiple-dose, randomized,multicenter trial, with the primary objective as assessing the safety,tolerability, and PK of multiple ascending doses of Compound 1 inhealthy adult volunteers and to assess the safety, tolerability, and PKof multiple doses of Compound 1 in patients with RA who are on a stablemethotrexate regimen.

Details of Study 1 and Study 2 and results obtained therefrom areprovided below.

Study 1—Single-Dose Escalation in Healthy Subjects

Study 1 was a single-dose escalation evaluation of Compound 1. Study 1was designed as a single-site, randomized, double-blind,placebo-controlled study. Fifty-six subjects in general good health wererandomized to receive single doses of Compound 1 immediate releasecapsules comprising Tartrate Hydrate (1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 mg) orplacebo in a 3:1 ratio with 8 subjects in each dose level. Study drugwas administered following at least 10 hours of fasting. The study wasconducted at PPD Development (Austin, TX). Subjects were confined to thestudy site and supervised for approximately 8 consecutive days. Studyprotocol and informed consent were approved by RCRC institutional reviewboard (IRB) (Austin, TX).

Study 2—Multiple-Dose Escalation

In Study 2, multiple twice-daily (BID) doses of immediate releasecapsules comprising Tartrate Hydrate were administered to healthysubjects (Part 1) or to subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)receiving stable doses of methotrexate (Part 2). Both evaluationsfollowed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled designs. Part 1was conducted at PPD Development (Austin, TX) and Part 2 was conductedat two sites: Aspen Clinical Research (Orem, UT) and Altoona Center forClinical Research (Duncansville, PA). Study protocol and informedconsents were approved by RCRC IRB (Austin, TX) and Quorum Review IRB(Seattle, WA).

Study 2-Part 1—Multiple-Dose Escalation in Healthy Subjects

The objective of Part 1 of the multiple-dose study was to characterizethe pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of multiple oral doses ofCompound 1 immediate release capsules comprising Tartrate Hydrate inhealthy subjects. Four escalating dosing regimens (3, 6, 12, and 24 mgCompound 1 or matching placebo twice daily for 13 consecutive days andonce in the morning on Day 14) were evaluated. Study drug wasadministered approximately 30 minutes after a standard breakfast (in themorning) or a snack (in the evening). Forty-four healthy subjectsparticipated in this part of the study with 11 subjects per dose group(8:3 Compound 1: placebo ratio). Subjects were confined to the studysite and supervised for approximately 18 days.

Study 2-Part 2—Multiple-Dose Evaluation in Subjects with RA

The objective of Part 2 of the multiple dose study was to assess thepharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of multiple oral doses ofCompound 1 immediate release capsules comprising Tartrate Hydrate insubjects with mild to moderate RA who were on stable methotrexatetreatment. This evaluation was designed to enroll approximately 32subjects randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to one of four paralleltwice-daily regimens (6, 12, and 24 mg Compound 1 and placebo). Subjectsreceived study drug for 26 consecutive days (Study Days 3 through 28)and a single morning dose of study drug on Study Day 29. Compound 1 wasadministered following breakfast for the morning dose and dinner orsnack for the evening dose. Subjects were on methotrexate therapy for atleast 3 months and on a stable dose of 10 to 25 mg/week of methotrexatefor at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug administeredon Study Day 3 and continued their weekly stable dose of methotrexate onStudy Days 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. Subjects were confined to the study sitefor a total of 10 days—from Day 1 to Day 4 and from Day 27 to Day 31.

Study Participants

Subjects underwent screening procedures within 30 days prior to theinitial administration of study drug. Subjects signed a written informedconsent prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specificprocedures. Subjects were eligible for study participation if they weremen or women between 18 and 55 years of age (Study 1 and Study 2—Part 1)or 18 to 75 years of age (Study 2—Part 2); judged to be in good generalhealth based upon the results of medical history, laboratory profile,physical examination, chest x-ray, and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG);and their body mass index (BMI) was within 19 to 29 kg/m² (Study 1 andStudy 2—Part 1) or within 19 to 39 kg/m² (Study 2—Part 2) at screening.Subjects were considered eligible to participate in Study 2—Part 2 ifthey had diagnosis of RA based on the 2010 American College ofRheumatology/European League against Rheumatism criteria ≥6 months, havebeen on methotrexate therapy ≥3 months (and folate or equivalent for atleast 2 weeks prior to Study Day 1), on a stable methotrexate dose of 10to 25 mg/week for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drugadministered on Study Day 3.

In both studies, subjects were excluded if they had any clinicallysignificant abnormalities, infection, major febrile illness,hospitalization, or had any clinically relevant surgical procedurewithin 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug; had positive testresult for hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M, hepatitis B surfaceantigen, or hepatitis C virus antibody, or HIV antibodies at Screening;had history or evidence of active or latent tuberculosis; had history ofdiabetes or lymphoproliferative disease or evidence of immunosuppression(except for use of methotrexate in Study 2—Part 2); or had clinicallysignificant findings at Screening as determined by the principalinvestigator. Additionally, subjects in Study 2—Part 2 were excluded ifthey had a history of acute inflammatory joint disease of differentorigin other than RA or had current or expected need for oral intakeof >10 mg prednisone/day or equivalent corticosteroid therapy.

Pharmacokinetic Sampling

In healthy subjects, serial blood samples were collected over 72 hoursafter single dosing (Study 1) or over 12 hours after the first dose(Study Day 1) and over 72 hours after the last dose (Study Day 14) ofstudy drug (Study 2-Part 1). In subjects with RA, serial blood sampleswere collected over 48 hours on Study Day 1 for methotrexate assay, over12 hours following the first Study drug dose on Study Day 3 for Compound1 assay, over 12 hours following the morning Study drug dose on StudyDay 28 for Compound 1 assay, and over 48 hours following the last Studydrug dose on Study Day 29 for Compound 1 and methotrexate assays.Pre-dose trough samples were collected prior to the morning dose onStudy Days 5, 6, 7, 13, and 14 in Study 2—Part 1 to assess attainment ofsteady state.

Urine for Compound 1 assay was collected over a 12-hour interval afterthe last dose was administered on Study Day 14 in Study 2—Part 1 and onStudy Days 28 and 29 in Study 2—Part 2. Urine for methotrexate assay wascollected for 48 hours on Study Day 1 and Study Day 29.

Plasma and urine concentrations of Compound 1 and methotrexate weredetermined using validated liquid chromatography method with massspectrometric detection methods. The lower limits of quantitation (LLOQ)for Compound 1 and methotrexate in plasma were established at 0.0503ng/mL and 1.00 ng/mL, respectively. The LLOQ for Compound 1 andmethotrexate in urine were established at 1.01 ng/mL and 0.0500 pg/mL,respectively. Samples quantified below the LLOQ were reported as zero.For Compound 1 assays, inter-run variability (measured as % coefficientof variation [% CV]) was ≤9.5% for plasma ≤8.4% for urine and the meanabsolute bias was ≤6.7% for plasma and ≤5.9% for urine. For methotrexateassay, inter-run variability (% CV) was ≤3.9% for plasma and ≤5.2% forurine and the mean absolute bias was ≤5.4% in plasma and ≤13.1% inurine.

Pharmacokinetic Analyses

Compound 1 and methotrexate pharmacokinetic parameters were determinedusing non-compartmental analyses with Phoenix software (Version 6.3,Certara, Princeton, NJ, USA). Calculated pharmacokinetic parametersincluded the maximum observed plasma concentration (C_(max)), time toC_(max) (T_(max)), trough plasma concentration (C_(trough)), theapparent terminal phase elimination rate constant (0), the terminalphase elimination half-life (t_(1/2)),the area under the plasmaconcentration-time curve (AUC) [from time 0 to time of the lastmeasurable concentration (AUC_(t)), from time 0 to infinity (AUC_(∞))for single dosing, and over a 12-hour dosing interval (AUC₀₋₁₂, orAUC_(12,ss)) for multiple dosing and the apparent oral clearance (CL/F).Compound 1 functional half-life (t_(1/2)F) following multiple dosing wascalculated as ln(2)/(ln[C_(max)/C_(trough)]/τ) at steady state, where iis the 12 hour dosing interval (Dutta et al., Clin. Drug Investig.,2006, Vol. 26(12), pp. 681-690). The accumulation ratio (R_(ac)) wascalculated as the ratio of Compound 1 AUC₀₋₁₂ on Day 14 to Day 1 (Study2—Part 1) or Day 28 to Day 3 (Study 2—Part 2). The percentage ofCompound 1 dose recovered unchanged in urine (f_(e)%) at steady statewas calculated as the amount of Compound 1 recovered in urine over the 0to 12 hour interval (Au,₀₋₁₂), divided by the administered dose andmultiplied by 100. Renal clearance (CLr) was calculated asAu,₀₋₁₂/AUC₀₋₁₂ at steady state. Methotrexate f_(e)% was calculated asthe amount of methotrexate recovered in urine over the 0 to 48 hourinterval (Au,₀₋₄₈), divided by the administered dose and multiplied by100. CLr of methotrexate was calculated as Au,₀₋₄₈/AUC₀₋₄₈. The effectof co-administration of methotrexate on Compound 1 exposure was assessedfrom the ratios of Compound 1 AUC₀₋₁₂ and C_(max) on Study Day 29 toStudy Day 28. The effect of Compound 1 on methotrexate exposure wasassessed from the ratios of methotrexate AUC_(∞) and C_(max) on StudyDay 29 to Study Day 1.

Safety and Tolerability Assessment

Safety was evaluated based on assessments of adverse events, vitalsigns, physical examination, laboratory metrics, and 12-leadelectrocardiogram (ECG). All subjects who received at least one dose ofstudy drug were included in the safety analyses. Subjects who wereadministered placebo were pooled into a single group within each studyor study part. Laboratory test values and vital signs measurements thatwere above or below the reference range were identified. Subjects werefollowed-up for a total of 7 days in Study 1, 35 days in Study 2—Part 1,and 57 days in Study 2—Part 2. In healthy subjects, clinical adverseevents were graded as described in the Guidance for Industry ToxicityGrading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled inPreventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (September 2007). In subjects withRA, the severity of adverse events were rated by the investigator asmild (transient and easily tolerated by the subject), moderate (causessubject discomfort and interrupts the subject's usual activities), orsevere (causes considerable interference with the subject's usualactivities and may be incapacitating or life-threatening). One subjectin Study 2—Part 2 was randomized to the placebo arm, but receivedCompound 1 in error on Study Days 10 to 16. Therefore, this subject wasincluded with the Compound 1 cohort for safety assessments

Statistical Analyses

Dose proportionality for Compound 1 in healthy subjects was tested usingthe natural logarithms of dose-normalized C_(max) and AUC followingsingle dosing (Study 1) or for steady-state dose-normalized C_(max),C_(trough), and AUC following multiple dosing (Study 2—Part 1)assessments. Attainment of steady-state following multiple doses inhealthy volunteers was assessed by testing the logarithmictransformation of Compound 1 morning pre-dose concentrations for StudyDays 5, 6, 7, 13, and 14 by repeated measures analysis. Statisticalanalyses were performed using SAS software (Version 9.3; SAS instituteInc., Cary, NC, USA).

Results

Demographics and Subject Disposition

A total of 56 healthy subjects were enrolled in and completed thesingle-dose evaluation (Study 1) and 44 healthy subjects were enrolledin and completed the multiple-dose evaluation (Study 2—Part 1).Enrollment in the multiple-dose evaluation in subjects with RA (Study2—Part 2) was discontinued early due to slow recruitment rate and 14subjects with RA were actually enrolled and completed this evaluation.No early withdrawals occurred in any of the three evaluations. A summaryof demographic data is presented in Table 54-A.

Compound 1 Single- and Multiple-Dose Pharmacokinetics in HealthyVolunteers

Compound 1 plasma concentrations reached peak levels at approximately 1to 2 hours after oral dosing of the immediate release capsuleformulation. Compound 1 plasma concentrations declined bi-exponentiallyafterwards with a terminal elimination t_(1/2) of approximately 6 to 15hours after single dosing (FIGS. 32A and 32B, Table 54-B) and of 8 to 16hours after multiple twice-daily dosing (FIG. 33 , Table 54-C). Compound1 functional half-life, estimated from C_(max) to C_(trough) ratio atsteady-state, was approximately 3 hours. After multiple dosing, therewas a small but statistically significant (p<0.05) difference betweenCompound 1 pre-dose concentrations on Study Day 13 (13% lower) comparedwith Study Day 5. There was no statistically significant difference inCompound 1 pre-dose concentration on Study Day 13 and Study Day 14,indicating that steady-state was achieved by Study Day 13. Atsteady-state, the median accumulation ratios for Compound 1 AUC₀₋₁₂ wereapproximately 1.0 over the evaluated dose range (Table 54-C).

The relationships of dose-normalized C_(max) and AUC values versus dosefollowing single and multiple dosing are presented in FIGS. 34A-34D. Inthe single dose evaluation, 1 mg dose group was excluded from thestatistical analyses for AUC_(∞) as the majority of samples collected atthe terminal phase were below the limit of quantitation for allsubjects. There was no statistically significant difference indose-normalized C_(max) between the highest (48 mg) and the lowest (1mg) dose of Compound 1, and there was no statistically significant trendfor change in the dose-normalized C_(max) values with dose. There was notrend for change in Compound 1 dose-normalized AUC_(∞) with doses overthe 3 to 36 mg dose range (P>0.05); however the dose-normalized AUC_(∞)following single 48 mg dose was 40% lower than that following 3 mg dose(p<0.05).

Following multiple dosing in healthy subjects, there was nostatistically significant difference (p>0.05) in Compound 1dose-normalized steady-state C_(max), C_(trough), or AUC for the 24 mgtwice-daily regimen compared to the 3, 6, or 12 mg twice-daily regimens.

Overall, Compound 1 exposures appeared to be dose proportionalparticularly over the single dose range of 3 to 36 mg and the multipledose range of 3 mg to 24 mg BID.

Compound 1 Multiple-Dose Pharmacokinetics in Subjects with RA

In subjects with RA who were on stable doses of methotrexate, Compound 1plasma concentrations reached peak levels at 1 to 2 hours after dosing(Table 54-D). The mean terminal elimination half-life of Compound 1ranged from approximately 10 to 14 hours, and the functional half-lifewas approximately 4 hours. The median accumulation ratio of Compound 1after 26 days of twice-daily dosing ranged from 0.8 to 1.4. The medianratio of Compound 1 C_(max) and AUC₀₋₁₂ when administered withmethotrexate (on Study Day 29) to those when administered withoutmethotrexate (Study Day 28) ranged from 0.9 to 1.2, indicating a lack ofsignificant effect of methotrexate co-administration on Compound 1pharmacokinetics (FIG. 35A). The steady-state dose-normalized C_(max)and AUC₀₋₁₂ of Compound 1 in subjects with RA compared to healthysubjects are presented in FIGS. 34B and 34D. The ratio of Compound 1exposure in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis to Compound 1 exposure inhealthy subjects ranged from 1.1 (24 mg twice-daily dose) to 1.6 (6 mgtwice-daily dose) for AUC₀₋₁₂ and from 1.2 (24 mg twice-daily dose) to1.7 (6 mg twice-daily dose) for C_(max).

Effect of Compound 1 Co-Administration on Methotrexate Exposure

Pharmacokinetic parameters of methotrexate when administered before(Study Day 1) and after administration of multiple doses of Compound 1(Day 29) are summarized in Table 54-E. Since methotrexate wasadministered weekly and has a short plasma half-life, no plasmaaccumulation was expected with repeated dosing and AUC_(∞) wascalculated for both Days 1 and 29. The median ratio for methotrexateAUC_(∞) and C_(max) when administered after multiple doses of Compound 1(on Study Day 29) to that when administered without Compound 1 (on StudyDay 1) ranged from 0.9 to 1.1 and from 0.8 to 1.2, respectively. Therewas no observed change in methotrexate dose-normalized AUC_(∞) whenadministered with or without Compound 1 (FIG. 35B).

Safety and Tolerability

Across all three evaluations, a total of 74 healthy subjects and 11subjects with RA received Compound 1 and a total of 26 healthy subjectsand 3 subjects with RA received placebo. There were no dose-limitingtoxicities or safety concerns with Compound 1 from the single doses upto 48 mg or multiple doses up to 24 mg twice daily. Notably, the safetyand tolerability profile of Compound 1 was comparable between subjectswho received Compound 1 or placebo, and between healthy subjects andsubjects with RA on background treatment of methotrexate, though thenumber of subjects with RA was limited. There was no evidence of a doseor time dependency for the incidence of adverse events in either healthysubjects or subjects with RA. There were no study discontinuations dueto adverse events, no serious adverse events and no clinicallysignificant changes in ECG parameters, or laboratory metrics in any ofthe subjects or treatment groups. The maximum tolerated dose of Compound1 was not reached in the single or multiple dose studies. Adverse eventsthat were reported by at least two subjects in Compound 1 or placebogroups in Study 1 or Study 2—Part 1 are presented in Table 54-F.

In healthy subjects who were administered single doses of eitherCompound 1 (1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 mg) or placebo in Study 1, 14.3%( 6/42) and 21.4% ( 3/14) of subjects, respectively, reported to haveone or more treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). All TEAEs wereassessed as mild in severity. The adverse events reported by more thanone subject who received Compound 1 were headache and presyncope (1subject in 6 mg and 1 subject in 24 mg dose group) in association withvenipuncture (see Table 54-F).

In healthy subjects who were administered multiple doses of Compound 1(3, 6, 12, and 24 mg BID) or placebo for 14 consecutive days in Study2—Part 1, 34% ( 11/32) and 58% ( 7/12) of subjects, respectively,reported one or more TEAEs. The overall incidences of TEAEs werenumerically higher at higher doses of Compound 1; 2 (25.0%), 2 (25.0%),3 (37.5%) and 4 (50%) subjects in the 3 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg and 24 mg dosegroups, respectively; however, these rates were lower than that wasobserved in the placebo group (58%). All TEAEs were reported as mild inseverity. Four events occurred in at least two subjects who receivedCompound 1: headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nasopharyngitis;three of these events also occurred in subjects who received placebo:headache, diarrhea and nasopharyngitis (Table 54-F).

There were no clinically significant changes in any hematologicparameters after multiple-dose administration in healthy subjects for 14days. With increasing doses of Compound 1, there were statisticallysignificant downward trends in mean levels of hemoglobin, RBCs, WBCs andneutrophils; however, even at the 24 mg dose, the mean levels werewithin the normal reference range. The mean changes in reticulocytecounts with increasing dose of Compound 1 compared to placebo were notstatistically significant, suggesting no evidence of a dose relatedeffect on reticulocyte counts after 14 days of Compound 1 treatment.Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol showed astatistically significant upward trend with increasing Compound 1 dosecompared with placebo; however, the final mean values for these lipidparameters in the Compound 1 dose groups remained within the normalreference range.

Subjects with mild to moderate RA on stable background doses ofmethotrexate, in Study 2-Part 2, were administered multiple doses ofCompound 1 (a total of 11 subjects) or placebo (a total of 3 subjects).Five subjects in the Compound 1 dose groups and two subjects in theplacebo group experienced at least one TEAE. In the Compound 1 dosegroups, 7 TEAEs were reported: nausea, vomiting, viral gastroenteritis,upper respiratory tract infection, post-traumatic neck syndrome, backpain, and insomnia. All TEAEs were reported by the investigators as mildor moderate in severity, and no adverse event was reported in more thanone subject in any treatment group. There was no evidence of a doserelationship with any of these events. Notably, as these subjects withRA received a stable background dose of methotrexate, there were nochanges in hepatobiliary metrics for those receiving Compound 1. Therewas also no evidence of a Compound 1 dose-related effect on renalfunction in these subjects with RA, as evaluated by serum creatinine andblood urea nitrogen values.

Discussion

Compound 1 was well-tolerated after single doses up to 48 mg andmultiple twice daily doses up to 24 mg of Compound 1 immediate-releaseformulation. All adverse events occurred after single- or multiple-doseadministrations were mild to moderate in nature with comparablefrequency between subjects who received Compound 1 or placebo. Noanemia, serious infections, or clinically significant changes inhematology, hepatobiliary or renal laboratory metrics was observed with14 days of repeated Compound 1 dosing in healthy volunteers or 27 daysof dosing in RA patients.

Compound 1 displayed multi-exponential plasma disposition with afunctional half-life of 3 to 4 hours across the dose range of 3 to 24 mgtwice daily of the immediate-release formulation in healthy volunteersand subjects with RA. The terminal elimination half-life of Compound 1ranged from 6 to 16 hours across the different dose levels. However,given the multi-exponential disposition of Compound 1, the longerterminal half-life is less relevant clinically than the functionalhalf-life (Dutta et al., Clin. Drug Investig., 2006, Vol. 26(12), pp.681-690; Sahin, Pharm. Res., 2008, Vol. 25(12), pp. 2869-77). Consistentwith a shorter functional half-life, there was no accumulation acrossthe evaluated 3 to 24 mg twice-daily dose range. While there are nosolid clinical data to suggest that extended exposure is needed forefficacy of JAK inhibitor (i.e. to determine whether efficacy isconcentration driven or AUC driven), the pharmacokinetic profile of theimmediate-release formulation of Compound 1 appears to be generally moresuited for twice-daily dosing than for once-daily dosing.

Compound 1 displayed dose-proportional pharmacokinetics particularlyover the 3 to 36 mg dose range (FIG. 34 ), which encompasses the doseranges evaluated in Phase 2b clinical trials in RA (3 to 18 mg BID and24 mg QD), or that is currently being evaluated in Crohn's disease (3 to24 mg BID).

It has been reported previously that the JAK inhibitors tofacitinib andfilgotinib have higher exposures in subjects with RA than those inhealthy volunteers (see FDA, “Clinical Pharmacology and BiopharmaceuticsReview(s)—Tofacitinib”, Application Number 203214Orig1s000, Center forDrug Evaluation and Research, 2011; Namour et al., Clin. Pharmacokinet.,2015, Vol. 54, pp. 859-874). Compound 1 's apparent oral clearance was23% lower in subjects with RA (leading to approximately 30% higherexposure), on average across all dose groups, compared to healthysubjects. In general, older subjects are expected to have lower renaland metabolic capacity compared to younger subjects (Mangoni, Br. .JClin. Pharmacol., 2004, Vol. 57(1), pp. 6-14). RA subjects who receivedmultiple-doses of Compound 1 were 26 years older, on average, than thehealthy subjects evaluated in Study 2 (Table 54-A); therefore, agecannot be excluded as potential contributor to the apparently 30% higherexposure of Compound 1 in RA subjects than in healthy subjects.

Methotrexate remains the first line therapy for treatment of RA and isoften used with biologic DMARDs or in combination with other csDMARDs(see Ma, et al., Rheumatology (Oxford), 2010, Vol. 49(1), pp. 91-8;Singh, et al., Arthritis Care Res. (Hoboken), 2012, Vol. 64(5), pp.625-39; Smolen, et al., Ann. Rheum. Dis., 2014, Vol. 73(3), pp.492-509). Therefore, at least in a subset of the RA patients, it isexpected that Compound 1 will be added to the first line therapy,methotrexate; thus, it was important to confirm a lack of any potentialinteraction between Compound 1 and methotrexate. The ratios of Compound1 AUC and C_(max) values when administered with methotrexate to thosewhen administered alone indicate lack of significant effect ofmethotrexate on Compound 1 (Table 54-D; FIG. 35A). Similarly, Compound 1did not have any significant effect on methotrexate exposures (Table54-E; FIG. 35B). This was consistent with the observed safety andtolerability profiles in these two populations.

In summary, Compound 1 displayed favorable safety and tolerabilityprofiles over single doses up to 48 mg and multiple doses up to 24 mgtwice daily for 14 days in healthy subjects and for 27 days in subjectswith RA. Compound 1 demonstrated a pharmacokinetic profile suitable fortwice-daily dosing with the immediate release formulation. There was nopharmacokinetic interaction between methotrexate and Compound 1 andthere was no accumulation of Compound 1 with repeated administration.

Example 55: Treatment of Moderately to Severely Active RheumatoidArthritis in Patients Who have Inadequately Responded to or areIntolerant to Anti-TNF Therapy

The following example briefly describes the results of a Phase 2b,12-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlledstudy in which adult subjects with moderately to severely activerheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have inadequately responded to or who areintolerant to an anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy were treatedwith Compound 1.

The study was conducted in accordance with the International Conferenceon Harmonisation guidelines, applicable regulations, and the principlesof the Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol was approved by anindependent ethics committee or institutional review board. All patientsprovided written informed consent before participating in anystudy-related procedures.

Participants

Adult men and women aged 18 years or older, who had been diagnosed withRA and fulfilled either the 1987 revised American College ofRheumatology (ACR) classification criteria (Arnett et al, ArthritisRheum., 1988, Vol. 31(3), pp. 315-324) or the 2010 ACR/European LeagueAgainst Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria (Smolen et al, Ann. Rheum. Dis.,2010, Vol. 69(6), pp. 964-975) were enrolled in the study. Active RA wasdefined as subjects having ≥6 swollen joints (based on a 66-jointcount); ≥6 tender joints (based on a 68-joint count); andhigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)≥upper limit of normal (ULN=5mg/L) or seropositivity for both rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cycliccitrullinated peptide (CCP). Eligible subjects must have been treatedwith ≥1 anti-TNF biologic agent for ≥3 months but continued toexperience active RA, or discontinued anti-TNF biologic therapy becauseof intolerance or toxicity. In addition, subjects with prior exposure tonon-anti-TNF biologic therapy were allowed to enroll, as long as theyhad failed ≥1 anti-TNF biologic. All biologic therapies had to be washedout prior to randomization: ≥4 weeks for etanercept, ≥8 weeks foradalimumab, infliximab, certolizumab, and golimumab, ≥8 weeks forabatacept, ≥12 weeks for tocilizumab, and >1 year for rituximab. Astable dose of methotrexate (7.5-25 mg/week) was required throughout thestudy. Key exclusion criteria were prior exposure to a JAK inhibitor, ora need for any immunosuppressant other than methotrexate. Subjects withserum aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT)>1.5×ULNor absolute neutrophil count (ANC)<1,200/μL or absolute lymphocytescount <750/μL at screening were excluded.

Study Design and Treatment

The study was a phase 2b, 12-week, randomized, double-blind,parallel-group, placebo-controlled study conducted at 123 sites,enrolling patients in the United States (176 patients, 64%) and PuertoRico (11 patients, 4%); Australia and New Zealand (6 patients, 2%);Western Europe including Belgium, Spain and Great Britain (29 patients,11%); Eastern Europe including Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland (54patients, 20%).

Subjects were equally randomized to receive oral immediate-release dosesof Compound 1 (immediate release capsules comprising Tartrate Hydrate)at 3 mg BID, 6 mg BID, 12 mg BID or 18 mg BID, or matching placebo BID,for 12 weeks. Randomization was performed centrally, according to ablocked randomization schedule, by investigators enrolling via aninteractive voice response system. Subjects, caregivers, investigators,joint assessors, and the study team were blinded to the treatmentadministered. Placebo and Compound 1 capsules were identical inappearance. Subjects should have been taking an oral supplement of folicacid (or equivalent) from four weeks prior to baseline and throughoutthe study. Subjects were allowed to continue stable doses ofmethotrexate and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS),acetaminophen, or oral corticosteroids (equivalent to prednisone ≤10mg).

Assessments

The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of subjects achievingan ACR20 response at Week 12. Secondary endpoints included theproportions of subjects achieving an ACR50/ACR70 response and theproportion of subjects achieving 28-joint count disease activity scorebased on C-reactive protein (DAS28(CRP))≤3.2, or <2.6, at Week 12. Amongthe other endpoints were the proportion of subjects achieving lowdisease activity (LDA) or clinical remission (CR) based on ClinicalDisease Activity Index (CDAI) criteria (LDA, CDAI≤10; CR, ≤2.8); changein DAS28(CRP), and change in the Health AssessmentQuestionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) (Anderson et al, Arthritis CareRes. (Hoboken), 2012, Vol. 64(5), pp. 640-647), including the proportionof subjects achieving minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of−0.22 (Strand et al, Rheumatology (Oxford), 2006, Vol. 45(12), pp.1505-1513). A post hoc analysis was performed to determine theproportion of subjects who had a sustained ACR20 response, defined asachievement of the ACR20 criteria at every visit (at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8and 12).

Safety was evaluated at each scheduled visit during treatment and for 30days after the last dose of study drug on the basis of AEs, serious AEs,vital signs, and laboratory tests (hematology, blood chemistry, andurinalysis). Adverse events were coded according to the MedicalDictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA, version 17.1).Descriptions of AE severity and post-baseline laboratory changes werebased on the Rheumatology Common Toxicity Criteria v.2.0, developed bythe OMERACT Drug Safety Working Group (Woodworth et al., 2007, J.Rheumatol., Vol. 34(6), ppl. 1401-14).

Statistical Methods

All efficacy analyses were conducted in modified intent-to-treatpopulation, which consisted of all randomized patients who received ≥1dose of study drug. For ACR response rates, the last observation carriedforward (LOCF) was the primary missing data imputation method andnon-responder imputation (NRI) was also used to assess the robustness ofthe results. For continuous endpoints including DAS28 (CRP), LOCFmissing data imputation was implemented; NRI is reported for binaryendpoints. Binary endpoints including ACR response rates were analyzedusing chi-square test with normal approximation when comparing eachCompound 1 treatment group to placebo group. Continuous endpoints wereanalyzed using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatmentgroup as a factor and baseline measurement as the covariate. TheMultiple Comparison Procedure and Modeling (MCPMod) method wasimplemented to detect any non-flat dose-response relationship byevaluating several non-linear dose-response models at the same time.P-values were not corrected for multiple comparisons.

Assuming ACR20 response rates of 25% in the placebo group and 55% in anyCompound 1 group, a sample size of 50 subjects per group (250 patientstotal) was estimated to provide at least 80% power to detect a 30%difference in response rates between the placebo group and an Compound 1group when using a 1-sided test with an alpha level of 0.05.

Results

Subject Disposition and Baseline Characteristics

In total, 276 subjects were randomized; all received their intendedtreatment. The overall study completion rate was 88% (FIG. 39 ).Baseline subject characteristics and disease activity were generallysimilar among treatment groups (see Table 55-A). The mean duration sinceRA diagnosis was 12 years. Seventy-two percent of subjects had priorexposure to only one anti-TNF, 28% to ≥2 anti-TNFs, and 20% of subjectswere also exposed to non-anti-TNF biologics. At baseline, subjects hadmean swollen and tender joint counts of 18 (out of 66 joints) and 28(out of 68 joints), respectively; 60% subjects had an elevated hsCRP andmean DAS28(CRP) was 5.8.

Efficacy

The primary analysis based on LOCF revealed that an ACR20 response wasachieved by 55.6% (P=0.033), 63.5% (P=0.004), 72.7% (P<0.001), and 70.9%(P<0.001) in subjects treated with Compound 1 at 3, 6, 12, and 18 mgBID, respectively, compared with 35.2% in subjects who received placebo.Analysis based on NRI also demonstrated a statistically significantimprovement in ACR20 response rate in subjects who received any dose ofCompound 1 compared with those who received placebo (FIG. 36A). Asignificant dose-response relationship was observed for all doses ofCompound 1 (P<0.01). The ACR20 response rates (NRI) at Week 12 weresimilar among patients who had received 1 versus ≥2 prior anti-TNFs(FIG. 36B). ACR50 and ACR70 response rates were significantly higher atCompound 1 doses of ≥6 mg BID versus placebo (FIG. 36A).

Significant differences in ACR20 response rates (NRI) were observed atthe first post-baseline assessment (Week 2) in subjects treated withCompound 1 12 mg BID and 18 mg BID versus placebo (P<0.007; FIG. 37A);the maximum response rate (71%) was observed with the 12 mg BID dose byWeek 8 and plateaued thereafter. Starting at Week 4, there weresignificantly greater ACR50 response rates with Compound 1 doses ≥6 mgBID versus placebo; the maximum response rate (42%) was observed withthe 18 mg BID dose by week 8 and plateaued thereafter (FIG. 37B).Improvements in ACR70 response rates better than placebo were observedstarting at Week 6, with peak response of up to 25% at Week 12 (FIG.37C). A sustained ACR20 response (at every visit between Week 2 through12, NRI) was achieved by 13%, 22%, 40% and 27% of subjects in theCompound 1 3 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg and 18 mg BID groups respectively, versus4% in the placebo group. Significant improvements in DAS28(CRP) (LOCF)occurred at the Week 2 assessment with Compound 1 at ≥6 mg BID versusplacebo (P<0.001; FIG. 37D).

A higher percentage of subjects receiving Compound 1 (any dose) achievedDAS28(CRP)≤3.2 or <2.6, versus placebo at Week 12 (NRI, FIGS. 37E and37F with the difference being statistically significantly for theCompound 1 12 mg BID group (DAS28(CRP)≤3.2, 49%; DAS28(CRP)<2.6, 33%,P<0.01) compared with placebo (25% and 13%, respectively). Similarly, ahigher percentage of patients treated with any dose of Compound 1achieved CDAI LDA or CR criteria versus placebo at Week 12 (NRI, FIG.37F). At Week 12, treatment with Compound 1 at 12 mg BID also resultedin statistically significant mean changes from baseline in individualcomponents of the ACR score compared with placebo (Table 55-B). Inaddition, a significantly greater proportion of patients achieved theMCID for HAQ-DI with Compound 1≥6 mg BID (58%-64%) as compared withplacebo (44%).

Safety

The percentage of subjects with any treatment-emergent AEs wasnumerically higher in a dose-dependent manner for the Compound 1 6, 12and 18 mg BID treatment groups compared with placebo (Table 55-C). Mostreported AEs were considered mild to moderate in severity. The mostcommonly observed AEs were headache, nausea, upper respiratory tractinfection, and urinary tract infection. The incidences of serious AEsand severe AEs were low, without an apparent dose-response relationship(Table 55-C). Five subjects in the Compound 1 dose groups reported sevenserious AEs (3 mg BID; one subject each with pancreatitis and pulmonaryembolism, 6 mg BID; one subject with pulmonary embolism and deep veinthrombosis, one patient with TIA and benign prostate hyperplasia, 18 mgBID dose; one subject acute respiratory failure). One subject on placeboexperienced a serious AE of bronchiectasis. The overall infection rateswere similar for the Compound 1 3- and 6 mg BID dose groups and placebo(20%, 22%, and 23%, respectively), but were higher in the Compound 1 12-and 18 mg BID dose groups (40% and 38%). No serious infections werereported in any of the Compound 1 treatment groups. Herpes zosteroccurred in two subjects in the placebo group (4%) and three subjectswho received Compound 1 (1%, one case each in the 3-, 12- and 18 mg BIDgroups; all were isolated to a single dermatome). The two reportedevents of hepatic disorders in the 18 mg BID dose group and one event inthe placebo group were attributed to increased transaminases; none wereserious. There was an adjudicated case of transient ischemic attack(left ventricular hypertrophy, classified as mild) in one subject in theCompound 1 6 mg BID group. One patient in the 6 mg BID group had oneevent each of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Therewere no opportunistic infections or deaths during the study period.

Dose-dependent increases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were observed; however,the ratios of LDL-C/HDL-C remained the same through Week 12. Of thesubjects with normal AST or ALT at baseline, 6-18% of patients onCompound 1 had elevated AST at least twice, and 4-11% had elevated ALTat least twice, versus 2% and 6% on placebo, respectively. The number ofthese subjects was higher in the higher dose groups. Most of theelevations were Grade 1 (for AST and ALT, ≥1.2-<1.6×ULN) and Grade 2(1.6-3.0×ULN). One subject each (2%) in the Compound 1 3 mg BID andplacebo group (2%) had a Grade 3 ALT elevation (3.0-8.0×ULN). Of thesubjects with normal creatinine at baseline, 4-14% subjects on Compound1 had elevated creatinine at least twice versus none in the placebogroup. One subject in the 18 mg BID group had a Grade 3 elevation(≥1.9-≤3.0 xULN). The elevations did not result in discontinuation ofany subject from the study.

Decreases from baseline in mean hemoglobin levels were observed in adose-dependent manner with Compound 1, although mean hemoglobin levelsremained within the normal range across all dose groups during the study(FIG. 38A). Twenty-six out of 219 subjects (11.9%) in the Compound 1groups had a Grade 2 decrease in hemoglobin (from 15-20 g/L); 14/219subjects (6.4%) had a Grade 3 decrease (from 21-29 g/L); 8/219 subjects(3.7%) had a Grade 4 decrease (≥30 g/L). The majority (79%) of thesedecreases were transient (only one occurrence) and one subjectdiscontinued the study due to reported AE of low hemoglobin. However, insubjects with underlying systemic inflammation, as measured by elevatedbaseline hsCRP, treatment with Compound 1 at 3- or 6 mg BID resulted inmean increases from baseline in hemoglobin levels compared with placebo(FIG. 38B).

Decreases in mean circulating leukocytes, neutrophils (Table 55-D) andnatural killer (NK) cells were also observed, and one subjectdiscontinued study drug due to leukopenia. Only NK cell reductionsappeared to be dose-related. The mean percentage change in NK cells was+16.5±46.6 in the placebo group; a dose-dependent decrease was seen insubjects treated with Compound 1 (−15.8±25.3 in the 3 mg BID group,−18.3±47.4 in the 6 mg BID group, −28.0±37.3 in the 12 mg BID group, and−42.6±31.7 in the 18 mg BID group). At all doses of Compound 1, therewas a transient mean increase in total lymphocytes, which returned tobaseline level by Week 12, except in the 18 mg dose group. There weretwo subjects in the 18 mg dose group with Grade 4 lymphocyte reduction;one subject was reported to have vaginal and urinary tract infection,and the other herpes zoster. One subject had a Grade 4 neutrophilreduction, which was not associated with a serious infection.

In this study, a broad dose range of Compound 1 (dosed up to 18 mg BID)was tested to assess efficacy and safety in subjects with an inadequateresponse or intolerance to anti-TNF biologic therapies. At all doses,Compound 1 demonstrated rapid and robust efficacy as shown bysignificantly greater improvements in clinical and functional outcomescompared to placebo. The onset of improvement with Compound 1 treatmentwas rapid with up to 58% of subjects achieving an ACR20 response asearly as 2 weeks after treatment. The proportion of ACR20 respondersreached a maximum at 8 weeks and plateaued at 71% through Week 12.Improvements in ACR50 (up to 42%) and ACR70 (up to 25%) response ratesin the Compound 1 groups also reached a maximum before Week 12. Thespeed of the response is in contrast to the 3-6 months observed for manybiologic therapies (Bathon, et al., The New England Journal ofMedicine,2000, Vol. 343(22), pp. 1586-93; Keystone, et al., Arthritis andRheumatism, 2008, Vol. 58(11), pp. 3319-29; Keystone, et al., Arthritisand Rheumatism, 2004, Vol. 50(5), pp. 1400-11) and comparable with thatobserved for other JAK inhibitors, baracitinib and tofacitinib in TNF-IRpatients. (Burmester, et al., Lancet (London, England), 2013, Vol.381(9865), pp. 451-60; Genovese, et al., European League AgainstRheumatism, 2015; 2015). In addition, the ACR20 response rate wascomparable between subjects with two or more prior anti TNF therapiesand those with only one prior anti-TNF. In general, the maximum efficacywas observed at the 12 mg BID dose.

Despite producing significant clinical improvement in different spectraof RA patients, there are safety concerns with JAK inhibitors,predominantly around impairing the body's ability to fight infections,viral reactivation, as well as altering hematopoietic homeostasis thatcould link to anemia. The most commonly reported adverse events with JAKinhibitors are infections, herpes zoster, pulmonary tuberculosis,cryptococcal pneumonia and pneumocystis pneumonitis (Fleischmann, etal., Arthritis Rheumatol., 2015, Vol. 67(2), pp. 334-43; Genovese, etal., Arthritis Rheumatol., 2016, Vol. 68(1), pp. 46-55). In addition,increases in total cholesterol, elevation of transaminase and serumcreatinine, decreases in neutrophil counts and anemia are also observed.(Burmester, et al., Lancet (London, England), 2013, Vol. 381(9865), pp.451-60; Genovese, et al., Arthritis Rheumatol., 2016, Vol. 68(1), pp.46-55; Keystone, et al., Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2015, Vol. 174(2), pp. 333-40).

In the current study, a broad range of doses of Compound 1 were testedto assess the selectivity of Compound 1 in vivo. Overall, Compound 1demonstrated an acceptable safety and tolerability profile at all dosesin this refractory RA population. There was no serious infection,although the proportion of overall infection rates was higher at the twohighest doses of Compound 1 (12 mg and 18 mg BID). The most commonlyobserved infections with Compound 1 were bronchitis, upper respiratory,and urinary tract infections. The incidence of herpes zoster was similarin the placebo group (two subjects, 4%) and the Compound 1 treatmentgroups (three subjects, 1%), and all were non-disseminated.

At the 12 mg BID and 18 mg BID doses, there was a modest decrease inmean hemoglobin levels by Week 12, although the mean hemoglobin levelsremained within the normal range. Notably, in subjects with elevatedhsCRP at baseline, who were receiving 3 or 6 mg BID Compound 1, meanhemoglobin levels increased compared to placebo treatment, possibly dueto a reduction of systemic inflammation while minimizing inhibitoryeffects on JAK2.

Circulating NK cells, which function as the critical mediator of hostimmunity against malignancy and infections, were measured as apharmacodynamic readout of IL-15 inhibition. With increasing doses ofCompound 1 there was a greater decrease in mean circulating NK cellcounts. At the maximally efficacious dose, 12 mg BID, NK cells decreasedby 28% from baseline, with proportionally smaller decreases in NK cellsobserved at lower doses. Given the fact that IL-15 signaling involves aheterodimer of JAKI1 and JAK3, this was to be expected at higher dosesof Compound 1. It is unclear how much each of the heterodimericcomponents (JAKI and JAK3) contributes to the overall IL-15 signaling.However, it is possible that at higher exposure of Compound 1, thethreshold for in-vivo selectivity for JAK1 compared to JAK3 is loweredin the context of the JAK1/JAK3 heterodimer. Of note, for tofacitinib at5 mg BID, the reported median decrease in NK cells at week 24 was ˜35%,with greater reduction at 10 mg BID or higher doses of tofacitinib (vanVollenhoven, et al., Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2015, pp. 258-9;Addendum to Primary Clinical Review, NDA 203,214, Center for DrugEvaluation and Research). However, it is important to note that thesignificance of NK cell reduction, especially what is consideredclinically meaningful reduction in NK cells in terms of predictingclinical events (i.e. onset of viral reactivation) is lacking. Asignificant association with the changes in nadir NK cells and treatedinfection rates with tofacitinib treatment was observed (vanVollenhoven, et al., Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2015, pp. 258-9).No association of the reduced NK cells with clinical events was observedin the current study.

As reported with other JAK inhibitors, a dose-dependent elevation of lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterollevels was observed with Compound 1, however, the ratio of LDL-C/HDL-Cremained unchanged. For the other laboratory parameters of interest,i.e, serum transaminases, WBC, neutrophil, or lymphocytes, the meanchanges were unremarkable and lacked apparent dose relationship, withonly one subject discontinuing the study early due to leukopenia.

In summary, the results of the current study demonstrated safety andefficacy of a selective JAKI inhibitor, Compound 1, in adifficult-to-treat population of RA patients who had an inadequateresponse or intolerance to anti-TNF biologic therapies.

Example 56: Treatment of Moderately to Severely Active RheumatoidArthritis in

Patients Who Have Inadequately Responded to Methotrexate

The following example briefly describes the results of a Phase 2b,12-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlledstudy in which adult subjects with moderately to severely activerheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have inadequately responded to stablemethotrexate therapy were treated with Compound 1.

Patients

Men and women aged ≥18 years with active RA and inadequate response tomethotrexate were included in the study. Diagnosis of RA was based onthe 1987 revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classificationcriteria (Arnett et al, Arthritis Rheum., 1988, Vol. 31(3), pp. 315-324)or the 2010 ACR/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria(Smolen et al, Ann. Rheum. Dis., 2010, Vol. 69(6), pp. 964-975). ActiveRA was defined by minimum disease activity criteria of ≥6 swollen joints(based on 66 joint counts) at screening and baseline; ≥6 tender joints(based on 68 joint counts) at screening and baseline; andhigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) greater than the upper limitof normal (ULN) or positive test results for both rheumatoid factor andanti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) at screening. Eligible patientshad been receiving methotrexate for ≥3 months, with a stableprescription (7.5-25 mg/week) for ≥4 weeks before baseline. Stable dosesof methotrexate were continued throughout the study. In addition, allpatients were requested to take a dietary supplement of oral folic acid(or equivalent) from 4 weeks prior to baseline and throughout studyparticipation. All other oral disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs(DMARDs) were discontinued before baseline for ≥5 times the meanterminal elimination half-life of the specific DMARD to ensure washout.High-potency opiates (e.g., oxycodone, methadone, morphine) werediscontinued ≥4 weeks before baseline. All patients had a negativetuberculosis screening assessment or, if there was evidence of a latenttuberculosis infection, completed 2 weeks of tuberculosis prophylaxis orhad documented completion of a full course of tuberculosis prophylaxisbefore baseline. Patients were allowed to receive nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen, oral/inhaled corticosteroids,and low-potency opiates. Patients were excluded if they had received JAKinhibitor therapy or any other investigational or approved biologic RAtherapy.

Treatment

Patients were randomized in a 1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio in a double-blind mannerto oral doses of Compound 1 (immediate release capsules comprisingTartrate Hydrate) 3 mg BID, 6 mg BID, 12 mg BID, 18 mg BID, or 24 mg QD(two 12 mg tablets administered at the same time), or placebo BID for 12weeks. Patients were randomized using an interactive voice/web responsesystem according to a blocked randomization schedule. Investigators,patients, and other study personnel were blinded to the treatmentassignments throughout the study. To maintain blinding, the placebo andactive treatments had an identical appearance. Patients were instructedto take their doses (6 capsules total, split into 2 batches of 3) atapproximately the same times each day.

Assessments

The primary efficacy endpoint was a ≥20% improvement in ACR criteria(ACR20) at week 12. Other endpoints included ACR50 and ACR70 responserates; change in 28-joint Disease Activity Score using C-reactiveprotein (DAS28(CRP)); change in Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI);the proportion of patients achieving low disease activity (LDA) orclinical remission based on DAS28(CRP) and CDAI criteria; and change inthe Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI). Theminimal clinically important difference (MCID) on the HAQ-DI, which is adecrease of ≥0.22, (Strand et al, 2006) was also evaluated.

Safety was evaluated during treatment and for 30 days after the lastdose of study drug on the basis of adverse events (AEs), vital signs,physical examinations, and laboratory tests. AEs were coded using theMedical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MeDRA), version 17.1.

Statistical Analyses

The per-protocol primary efficacy analysis was conducted in a modifiedintent-to-treat population, including all randomized patients who takeat least 1 dose of study drug, with last observation carried forward(LOCF) imputation; data were also analyzed with nonresponder imputation(NRI). Statistical tests were 1-sided with a significance level of 0.05for efficacy analyses and 2-sided with a significance level of 0.05 forall other analyses. A sample of 270 patients (45 per randomizedtreatment group) was targeted give 80% power to establish a realdifference of 30% in the primary efficacy endpoint (ACR20 response rateat week 12), assuming the response rate would be 30% in the placebogroup and 60% in at least 1 of the Compound 1 dose groups.

Results

Patients

A total of 300 patients were randomized, and 299 received placebo (n=50)or Compound 1 3 mg BID (n=50), 6 mg BID (n=50), 12 mg BID (n=50), 18 mgBID (n=50), or 24 mg QD (n=49). Overall, 91% of patients completed thestudy, with similar discontinuation rates across treatment groups and noapparent relationship between Compound 1 dose and discontinuation (FIGS.40A and 40B). Demographic and clinical characteristics at baseline werebalanced among treatment groups (Table 56-A). Patients were from EasternEurope (61%), Central/South America (18%), the United States (10%),Western Europe (8%), or other regions (4%). Patients had a mean diseaseduration of 6.9 years and 17.7% had used ≥1 prior non-methotrexateDMARD. Of note, patients with normal hsCRP could be enrolled if theywere positive for rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibody. Approximately43% of patients had hsCRP values ≤ULN at baseline.

Efficacy

The primary per-protocol endpoint, ACR20 at week 12 (LOCF imputation),was met at every dose of Compound 1 except the lowest dose of 3 mg BID.The proportions of patients with ACR20 were 65% (P=0.153), 73% (P=0.18),82% (P=0.001), 77% (P=0.008), and 82% (P=0.001) at 3 mg BID, 6 mg BID,12 mg BID, 18 mg BID, and 24 mg QD, respectively, versus the placeboresponse rate (50%). ACR20 responses (NRI) were significantly higherwith Compound 1 at 6 mg BID (68%), 12 mg BID (80%), and 24 mg QD (76%)versus placebo (46%; FIG. 41 ). Responses with more stringent criteria,i.e., ACR50 and ACR70, were achieved at week 12 by significantly higherpercentages of patients who received Compound 1 versus placebo at alldoses except 12 mg BID for ACR70 response (NRI; FIG. 41 ). ACR20response rates increased over time with Compound 1 to reach mean maximumvalues at weeks 6 to 12 (FIG. 42A). ACR50 responses were significantfrom week 4 onward and plateaued at week 8 (FIG. 42B); ACR70 responsesalso appeared to plateau by week 8, with some further improvements up toweek 12 (FIG. 42C). At the first assessment (week 2), ACR20 responseswith Compound 1 ranged from 30% to 44% and were significantly higher atall doses in patients who received Compound 1 versus placebo (12%). Meandecreases in DAS28(CRP) improved over time from baseline, ranging from−2.2 to −2.6 with Compound 1 at week 12, and were significantly lowercompared with placebo (−1.3) at all Compound 1 doses and every timepoint (FIG. 42D).

Higher percentages of patients who received Compound 1 achievedDAS28(CRP)≤3.2 or <2.6 compared with placebo. The DAS28(CRP)≤3.2 cutoffwas achieved by a significantly higher percentage of patients (41%-52%)at all doses of Compound 1 compared with placebo (20%); the <2.6 cutoffwas achieved by significantly higher proportions (34%-40%) with Compound1 compared with placebo (14%) at all doses except 24 mg QD (22%; FIG.43A). Similarly, CDAI≤10 was achieved by a significantly higherpercentage of patients (40%-46%) compared with placebo (20%) withCompound 1 at all doses except 24 mg QD (35%; FIG. 43B).

Improvements from baseline in ACR component scores were larger withCompound 1 compared with placebo, reaching statistical significance formost comparisons at doses of 6 mg BID and greater (Table 56-B). Changesfrom baseline on the HAQ-DI at week 12 with Compound 1 ranged from −0.6to −0.8 and were significantly greater than that seen with placebo(−0.4) for all but the Compound 1 24 mg QD dose (−0.6). Numerically,more patients in the Compound 1 dose groups ≥6 mg BID (69%-88%) met theMCID at week 12 compared with placebo (67%); the study was not poweredfor this analysis, and the comparisons versus placebo mostly were notstatistically significant.

As can be seen from these results, Compound 1 had an early onset ofaction in subjects who have demonstrated a prior inadequate response tomethotrexate. In particular, ACR20 response rates improved starting atweek 2, with a maximum effect achieved as early as week 6, withcontinued improvement in some dose groups through week 12. ACR50(maximum efficacy up to 50%) and ACR70 (maximum efficacy up to 28%)response rates also quickly plateaued by about week 8. Compound 1 showeda dose-dependent efficacy that seemed to reach a maximum at 12 mg BID.

Safety

The safety and tolerability profile of Compound 1 across doses wasacceptable (Table 56-C). Incidence of any AE was statisticallysignificantly higher with Compound 1 overall versus placebo (45% vs 26%;P=0.012), with a trend of dose dependence. Among common AEs, those thatoccurred in ≥3% patients in any group were abdominal pain, abdominalpain upper, back pain, blood creatine phosphokinase increased, cough,diarrhea, dyslipidemia, dyspepsia, gastroenteritis, headache, herpeszoster, influenza, leukopenia, nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tractinfection, urinary tract infection, white blood cell count decreased,and wound. Most AEs in the Compound 1 treatment groups were mild ormoderate in severity. Severe AEs occurred in 1 patient each withCompound 1 at 6 mg BID (lung cancer at posttreatment day 10 in a79-year-old male patient with family and smoking histories; the patientdied 3 months later), 12 mg BID (pyrexia), 18 mg BID(hyperbilirubinemia), and 24 mg QD (head injury). There were 2 seriousAEs with Compound 1 that were considered possibly related to study drug:community-acquired pneumonia at 12 mg BID and syncope at 24 mg QD.Infections overall occurred in 20% of patients who received Compound 1and 14% who received placebo, with no tendency towards higher rates athigher doses. Three herpes zoster infections, 1 with Compound 1 at 3 mgBID and 2 at 24 mg QD, involved 1 dermatome per patient. A patient inthe Compound 1 6 mg BID group, aged 79 years and with a history ofsmoking, was diagnosed with lung cancer 10 days after stopping studytreatment and died 3 months later.

At week 12, mean values for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) weresignificantly higher with Compound 1 18 mg BID than with placebo; meanvalues for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were significantly higherthan placebo with all Compound 1 doses >3 mg BID (Table 56-D). However,grade 3/4 ALT or AST abnormalities during the study were sporadic, withno clear dose dependence (Table 56-E). Creatinine and creatinephosphokinase levels were significantly higher in all Compound Idosegroups compared with placebo. Compound 1 was associated with elevationsin high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; LDL-C);HDL-C elevation was statistically significant at 6 mg BID, whereas LDL-Cvalues were significantly higher than placebo for all Compound 1 doses;however, the ratios of LDL-C/HDL-C remained the same through week 12.There were no significant decreases in lymphocyte or neutrophil levelsbetween placebo and Compound Idose groups by week 12. Grade 3 lymphocytevalues occurred with placebo and all doses of Compound 1; grade 4 valuesoccurred in 1 patient each with Compound 1 at 3 mg BID and 18 mg BID(Table 56-E). Grade 3 neutrophil values occurred with Compound 1 at 12mg BID (1 patient), 18 mg BID (3 patients), and 24 mg QD (1 patient).Natural killer (NK) cell percentages were significantly lower thanplacebo with Compound 1 doses ≥6 mg BID (Table 56-D).

Mean changes in hemoglobin over time in all patients, patients withhsCRP values ≤5 mg/mL, and patients with hsCRP values >5 mg/mL are shownin FIGS. 44A-44C. Mean hemoglobin values remained stable or increased atlower doses, most notably in patients with elevated CRP at baseline.Dose-dependent decreases in hemoglobin were seen at higher doses withoutclinical impact.
